7000 RPM small block

thanks for the info! The car runs great with the 360, 12.7@106 at 5800 ft. Traction is the biggest problem with the torque that the 360 has and a 27x9 tire. So my thought is, instead of tubbing it, just build an engine that is smaller but makes more mid range and high rpm power but leaves softer. I am leaning toward a 318 with 1.88 valve heads.
Rumble, do you mean tubing the right side oil galley? I was going to do that on my next engine. I think I will still use a solid flat tappet cam. And at least 12.5 compression.
