big block pro comp heads

want my engine to last a long time its been a financial sacrafice to build im gonna lauch at 3500 and shift at 6500 if gear ratio is to steep i will change it you tell me one rotation of tire to 5 plus rotations of the drive shaft and looking up the gear ratios that 8 3/4s came with think its 5.17 i didnt pick those gears came with the car.

6500 rpm wont kill the motor any time soon,plus the car being soooo light takes a ton of stress off the entire drivetrain!

It's the piston speed which is the limiting factor. The faster the piston travel's the more pounding it takes.But heck ,even cast pistons are fine at 6500.
