ur valve train will never let u get there
yep, stock valve train cant hack it. on top of that, the heads and cam dont make hp that high so the motor will stop pulling long before 9000

A buddy of mines dad used to destroke 302's to 28x cubes and spin the crap out of them.They would only get a few passes out of each motor before they would let go, but he owned a machine shop and would rebuild them with mostly stock parts and toss a 300 shot on them. He'd spin them up past 8 grand and get some pretty respectable time slips

9 sec , all motor n/a 306 at 10,000 rpm

freaky

see Crazy's link, same
i posted that vid before. hes a member on another forum i post at. very nice car

anyways, why would you want to rev to 10k when you can make plenty of power by 7k. its all in the combo
i've never seen any N/A 5.0s put out 600hp and run 9s before at 7k rpm, got any links to some buildups?

technically yes you can rev it that high with deep enough pockets. its all in the set up.

revs can actually help with power output

yes because horsepower is a function of torque and rpm. that's why the only way to make a 4 banger make good power is to spin the crap out of it. imo torque is much more important.

hp = rpm x torque / 5252 this is why on a correctly calibrated dyno the hp and torque curve always crosses at 5252 rpms.

my stock 302, can rev to 7k, but it stopped pulling at 5300 so whats the use in over reving it?
boss 302 motors,used for trans am racing had arev limit of 9,000
but they didnt start making alot of power until after 5500, because of the cleveland style heads. and the big camshaft they used.
thats the highest 302 factory reving engine that i know of....

yeah there are 1000+ hp STREET cars that run on pump gas. they are boosted and have a very good tune to keep it in check. meth injection helps alot also.
