What moderate low-buck V8 has the highest RPM potential?

Its the sound a high rpm motor makes that is so cool, IMO

BMW makes-or made-a V10 with a 8,000 plus red line, mind U I love Mopars far more but that engine even muffled down sounded great screaming through the gears.

I rather have a built 8,000 rpm 340 any day but any V8-V10 engine that revs cleanly past 7,000 sounds awesome, IMO. Must have been something else back in 1971 on the few expressways at the time with the "brand new" 69--70 cars with 4.10 gears going 75 mph plus...so awesome that we got that 55 mph limit for too long, lol

All the 340 needs is a solid lifter cam and its good for 7,000...I recall the old days when we were told to gear for torque and build for HP...today its stroke the engine and keep rpm's down. Maybe both gets the job done but the sound of 7,500 rpm can't be beat by a 5,500 rpm stroker
