I know for sure my car loses power after 6K, but the point is being able to run these 4.56 gears, I think revving the car past its peak horsepower is worth the ET gained with the taller gears...what do you guys think?

Re: Can I safely cross the traps at 6500-6600 RPM's with my stock motor? I would not go over 6300 rpms, really 6200 rpms with a stock motor with some miles on it. You will float valves at 6500 for sure.
