15 years ago I was shifting a bored out 360 with a stock cast crank at 8,000 and turning 8,600 at the stripe. Stock style high volume oil pump. Harland Sharp rockers.

20 years ago same short block with J heads and crane rockers spun it fairly hard too just did not make power over 8,000.

Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.
