I turn my W-2 to 8200... same with my W-9 but have
had it as high as 9600.. just drilled all the oil holes
larger ported the pump on the W-2.. my W-9 is a R3
block with a dry sump.... all my rockers are T&D
EDIT
Both of these have a 3.79 crank... W-2 is 395ci and
the W-9 is 405ci

Just some highway fun.

Looks like my pop won't be well enough to relieve us at the shop any time soon, so I guess we'll have to wait for a Sunday at ATCO in the spring.

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.

Lets ask this question, how many of you guys turning the motor over 8000rpm are running Stainless valves?

8,600 is all I turned it. It had a 4.125" stroke and did not need to turn higher.

How about a motor with 4.18x3.79 dragon slayer crank, cast intake single carb, cam is .280in 288ex at.050 .690 gross lift 1.65 rocker...what kind of RPM on something like that. I usually shift at 8000 and tried 8500 but it didnt make much difference so stayed at 8000
