I have a 451 stroker what kinda rpms do these like the most with a solid flat tappet cam? I am shifting at 6200 now and a few people say the 451 pulls the best it like 7200 any thoughts on this?

6800 here

depends on set up, back in the ezstreet days i ran lots spring pressure and about 700 lift, shifted at 7600 on lots of nos (cross bar with two 85 nos and two 82 fuel).

8200:p Well that is where we shift the Cuda but it is a 525"er

FWIW my ole 451 in the Belvedere worked best at 6700. Steel rod SR head ran mid 10's at 3770lbs with a Scott Brown cam.

10,500? You really don't offer enough info to possibly help you,what do you want? A lucky guess?

My 452 liked 6600.

6800 here too

More engine/trans info needed to help figure out a starting shift point for your specific combo.

5800rpm runs 9.7's

A guy we was pitted with at Norwalk had 500 cid in a Demon and he had bought the engine already together out of a dragster, Indy heads and intake , roller cam, dominator carb, He was told by original owner shift at 7500, He was conservative and was shifting at 6800 and was running 9.95. wanted to slow down for 10.0 shootout so backed it down to 6000 and car went 9.90, backed it down to 5500 and car went 9.84. Decided if He was going to slow down this way, He was going to have to shift at 7000,lol

I have ran a lot of different BB combinations, the 451 is a 440 stock stroke crankshaft in a low deck, it is the same as a 440 with .060 overbore. I ran one of those with a set of M.W. heads, intake and 750 carbs, we could slow that car down a tenth by moving the shift points in 1st and 2nd gear from 6400 RP to 7000 RPM. That was with a Isky 616-590 grind with all Isky valve train parts with the springs set up the way they wanted them My point is you will have to take the car out and try different shift points to find out what works best in your combination Converter, car weight, rear gear and trans ratio, tire size and so on all play a part on what works best on shift points BTW, I shift my 518 low deck pump gas stroker at 7300 for the best ETs

It depends on heads/cam/gear/shift recovery etc every combo it a different - A 400 with MW heads, roller and 5.38's like 8200-8400.

I shift my 501 at 6500 and cross at 6800 with lil ez 295's. My head and cam combo are easy on springs and parts and makes good torque. Best of a 10.22 @ 129 in a 3800 pound sled.

i was shifting at 6800 but after the bigger carbs i am trying 6500.it works pritty well so far.i just need the 60' to stick.

557" aluminum wedge .800 cam 15:1 compression on alky. launch at 6K and shift at 7400-7500 rpms.

499 B1 @ 7200 9.50 @ 137mph with 488 gears. crossing traps @ 7600 with a glide, car really pulls ontop

512 indymaxx B engine with 4.88 gears. change gear @ 7k cross the line @ 7200 doing 9.5@139mph with TF.
