I know this sounds stupid, but what is the highest reving 5.0L you guys have heard of? i.e. what's the record? Is 7-8,000 RPM the limit?

Also, what is the NA record for a 5.0L on 93 octane? (Hp wise)

Is there a good 5.0L crate motor that can rev high?

Why do I want to know? Because I know Honda has the 2.0l S2000 motor that makes ~240HP @ 9,000 RPM, which is very sad, but amazing from a hp per liter stand point. I know boosted 5.0l can vastly surpass that. I've just been wondering what's the limit a 5.0 can do.

p.s. this is not a pro "rice" question. I'm just curious.

you could easily do 9k in a stock 5.0 if it didnt/doesnt have a rev limiter in it, but it would prolly only be able to do it that one time. as far as a race prepped block sure it could do it but that wouldn't be a street motor by any means

9k is doable, will take alota work tho... new everything basically...

and i no there are 1000hp+ sbf's that run on 93... you see it in 5.0 mag. all the time...

86 5.0L

no need to go that high, infact the lower the better

if u got the money you can wind them out to 12K! thats alot of money though. u can make enough power with these engines so that 7K would be the absolute highest you would need. its all about block intergrety, crank/stroke, ALL LIGHTWEIGHT INTERNALS (needed to get high revs) and supporting mods.

the goals some ppl have... seriously worry me

mos def agree^

we use to have horsepower goals...now rpm goals, I don't know what we are coming to, it is all about hp and tq and 1320 #s, I could care less about how high I could take the rpms

in his defense he did say he was just curious

I bet this is gonna be a street/strip car at most why would you need more than 6500rpm from a v8 car in that ap? I know 4cyl Honda need the high hp to make em move but a v8 has torque and hp...
