Yes, I have seen this too. I was just trying to make the point that if this is
the limit for a 30 thousand dollar engine do people actually think a production
engine can do the same thing?
To my knowledge the 2 highest revving factory V8's were the chev 302 produced
in the 69 Z-28 and the Ford Boss 302 Mustang (somebody correct me If I am
wrong)
And there was no way that Either could hit 10k without valve float (long before
10k) or breaking something.
