We shift this engine at 7800 rpms and the car goes through the trap at about 7300 to 7500 depending on the track and weather conditions.
We use a MSD AL7 ignition system and we take a d/l after each run, so I know the rmps are as stated.
I can turn this engine over by hand on the stand and there is no contact.
