The stock car boys go 8000+ by replacing the block, crank, rods and
pistons. My stock block and crank uses 6" eagle rods ($320) and KB
pistons and is good for 7500 rpm but the EFI won't go past 6000 because
the injectors are too small. Be sure to get good heads, etc. if you want
power at 7000+.  Nuff said  Tom
