Default Stock 3.62 Crank guys, how high are you spinning?

I was wondering how high everyone with a stock 3.62 crank was spinning their motors and what top end/valve train they were using to get there;

Redline:
Heads:
Cam:
Rear End Gear Ratio:
Intake Manifold:
Lifters:
Pushrods:
Rocker Arms:
Valve Springs:


I've yet to dyno but;

Ported LS3 Heads
236/236 .587/.587 112.5 lsa
3.50 Gears
OEM LS3 Intake Manifold
OEM LS7 Lifters
7.4 Chromoly
OEM Off Set LS3
PRC .675'' Lift Springs

I dont think 7500 RPM would be in issue but would like to know what you've got going on.

Cheers

What kind of turbo or blower do you have/plan to use? That will factor in as well.

I've been 7500 in the burnout and shift at 7100 on a regular basis. Procharged deal.

Redline: been to 7500 on one occasion
Heads: stock 317
Cam: triple 12
Intake Manifold: pro-flow
Lifters: stock
Pushrods: comp 5/16"
Rocker Arms: stock
Valve Springs: PRC 675

Been to 6800 quite a few more times, but usually shift around 6500. No need to shift higher.

I shift at 7400. Ported LSA heads

My cam is low lift and higher duration so the lobes are very mild

Heavy and big stainless intake valve

Ls3 intake
Ls7 lifters
3.27 gears
Double gold springs

It wants to pull strong past that. Never have let it though

I have a very large turbine too. Drive pressure stays under 1:1 with boost

Nice, I have big heavy stainless valves as well. A few mechanics/tuners say I should hit 7700+ with ease

A lot is going to be the profile of the cam lobe. If it is too aggressive and unstable for the limited amount of spring available on that heavy *** valve it may not make it over 7k and stay stable

Only one way to see

ls3 intake valves would be a huge weight reduction. You should do the comp trunion bearings in the stock rockers. Cheap insurance at 7k+! Also rod bolts are a good ideal. I like the kaetech rod bolts.
Wind it up and let it eat!

I thought the issues were with the valve train not the bottom end?
