But you don't want to make peak power/torque waaaay high in the rpm's. On his engine, he's likely making maximum torque closer to the 5,000 rpm range. Torque is the pulling force of the engine. Think about your type of driving versus engine rpm. How often do you plan on cruising around that high on the tach? H.p. and torque come in at different points, and an engine making max. power way high in the rpm range will have less power/torque in the lower rpm range. You can't have both, and his setup should make for a fairly good, streetable engine.

Camaro 69 is right no need going past 5800 cus i start to lose power jus because a car revs higher doesnt mean its going to make more power. My setup is made for low end torque and that is why i had a custom cam made for that reason. My car is a STREET car not a STRIP car.. Manily i use it for shows. But we dont know for a fact yet until i get a better fuel pump what i will be reving out at.And so we can perform a full dyno tune. To see what shes makin. NEW PICS WILL be up by next week along with youtube videos. i ran a 11.90 with my stock LT1 with procharger full exhaust suspension/Radials i should get into low 11.00 range possibly high 10s with the setup now. But im not going to even go to the track Till I get a BUILTT 9 Inch..

Dont know trying to find sumwhere. Yet i have more bad news to discover i have now MAXED out my 42lb fuel injectors we stopped at 6200rpm. it can still make more power but i know need 60lb injectors to acheive full potentional out of the engine. So theres another ****ing $500 .. so total cost for everything labor parts fixing blown block/engine/ dyno session /fixing procharger comes to a WHOPPING total of $13,600........ My ****s gona be like %35 intrest on my credit card man. ****KKKKKKKKK LOL soory for my french but was get get one thing done i soon find out i need another thing done and so on and so on.
