imagine if the crank was forged and the valvtrain built for that rpm. that motor should hit some big numbers! lol. I love high rpm v8s

i think making a small block that can do bb powere levels is awsome all i think he needs are some vortech heads from scoggin dickey a cam that has a broad curve that will deliver 450 hp and a good dual plane and it should pull from idle to 5800 rather strongly. as i say a motor that pulls its power longer is better for the street
