If its aftermarket, with lightweight titanium rods and lightweight forged aluminum pistons - then the sky's the limit.
rev on.
Though I did hear the stock computer will implode if it goes over 7000 rpm.
Surprisingly, Ive heard the optispark will continue to function.

No titanium in my short block. Stock computer has yet to implode.

I increased my rev limiter to 7200 (100 higher than stock). Peak power is around 6000 rpm, but it doesn't taper hard like a small block at all. It has no trouble increasing speed past 7k rpm.

Blasted mine first through fourth shifting at 5k last fall. Call me a wimp but I went into fourth at 94 mph and scared the everlovin life outta myself. Not used to driving that fast AT ALL!! Will not do it again - Really?? 154?? Live at a race track?
