if you could squeeze another. 2000 , rpm out of your engine and be reliable , what is wrong with that ? Keep everything as light as possible get proper oiling that would be great but the cost might be a bit much .
First off most of those of us that do race are bracket racers so if, and I said if I could gain .10 by upping my rpm level 2000 rpm what did I gain. I’m not fast by any means but 9.50’s in a 7500.00 total cost build that is now in its fifth year can’t be done shifting at 8500 rpm. Most can’t put together a 7000 rpm build that runs to its potential. Anyone that knows me can agree that I race my car a lot. I’m not a test n tuner that goes to a coastal track looking for that one hit wonder “new best”. I lowered my rpm from 7000 to 6800 rpm last year and 6800 to 6600 rpm this year and do you know what I lost??? Not a damn thing, as it still runs the same as it did five years ago. Same valve springs, same rod and main bearings. Cheap azz Eagle rotating assembly and I’m not a fan of Eagle products. But it came in the parts I bought.
