410 LA small block will not rev past 6000

If you are happy with the way it drives and performs.... leave it alone.

What is the fascination with 6500rpm? It's just a number.

Would you be happier making the same HP and TQ at 500 more rpm than you do now? If so, you'll need more gear and you will just be tougher on your parts, especially valvetrain.




I agree. If you like RPM, try 8500.

6500 is street/strip stuff.
