10,000 RPM

[Bruce Plecan]

Well, the name says Stock Car <g>, just being silly here..
Saw one of Mark Martin's engines, some time ago, was like looking at a Rolex
in a sea of Seikos.  Really nice attention to detail.

| 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.
