Serious 340 build into 361 HiRPM Screamer

It all depends on the situation. We truck pull which is basically a drag race with 35.000 pounds behind you. We run the engine to 85-8600 that way when the pan hits it falls into the power at about 7500rpm
I certainly don't argue there are engines that are designed to, and do rev that high. My point is, it is not what the masses are doing. I think there are some street warriors that like to take the tach to places it likely shouldn't be, then tell the world this is normal and how it should be.
