All makes common sense! I'm no engineer. However, I did want an engine that would spin to 7000RPM without any probs.
My 331 made 449HP at 6600RPM.
We ran it up to a max of 6800RPM where power dropped to 420HP. My soft redline is set to 6800RPM.
Max torque was at 4700/4800 RPM.
This engine makes a superb noise and its screams up to 6800RPM with no hesitation! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
That's exactly what I was after. Plenty of intoxicating noise, loads of torque and HP high up the rev range.
My engine will be rebuilt every year, I expect the block to last no more than 3 years.
If you go for high revving engines I think you must consider the durability - poor! and money to maintain it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif BUT -
WHAT A SOUND - MONEY WORTH SPENT. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
