Oyvind Mopar mopar Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 413 Norway (old world)	Had my old 426 Hemi built to 1973 prostock spec, ran it to 9000 once and 8800 numerous times (Jones-Motorola mech. tach). Torque below 4500 was low. This was with heavy TRW pistons, Nascar rods, 4-speed, R290 and triple springs. Street use only, finally a rodbearing let go and took the Kellog crank journals 5 and 6....

jamesc master J Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 5,875 communist bloc of new jersey	Quote: Well you asked for it. The 499" Hemi we shift at 9500 cross the stripe at about 9900-10200 depending on gear and DA. The 525" B1 when on the odd occasion I run it all out I shift at 8300. It does not have enough gear or converter for running all out and I cross the stripe at a pedestrian 7450. Al what's the bore/stroke on that engine? i'm figuring stroke in the 3.5-3.6" range and bore 4.7ish? as for the OP question, no faster than i have to. too fast in the burnout though (probably 7600-7700) leaving 3400, shifting 6800, crossing around 7-7200
