Se're shifting with a 6200 rpm light now, probably hits 6500 on the 1-2 shift. Gonna t&t it when I get back from a road trip next week. I want to kick it up a few hundred rpm and see if it has enough cam for it.  Here's some stats:
Rods - Eagle 6.250 4350 H-beam
Crank - Eagle 4340 forged knife edged
SRP pistons (flat tops)
Speed pro plasma moly rings
Cloyes Double Roller chain
Comp Solid roller cam 35-772-8 286/292 248/254 @ .050 .610/621 lift lsa 110, c/l 106, installed at 105, overlap 69 degrees @ .015"
Heads - Edelbrock Victor Jr's 2.05/1.60 valves
Rockers - Harland Sharp aluminum rollers
Springs - 195#s closed 350+ @ .600
Intake - Edelbrock Victor Jr. ported to heads
Fully balanced
Milodon pan & pick up
MSD billet Distributor
Race c-4 w/ 9" converter 4600 stall
spooled 9" rear
10" MT et drag slicks
4.5" MT et drag fronts
It's best muffled is 10.82 in the 1/4 mile. See ya all in a week or so and thanks in advance for any suggestions.  SteveW [This message has been edited by steve'66 (edited 11-02-2002).]

Steve, based on what we already know, that bad a$$ 408 SHOULD make power all the way to 7200 RPM. That would dictate a shift point of about 6800 to 7000. ------------------

I'd think that engine oughta hang together past 7500 anyways, might not go any faster past 7000 though.
