thats a joke I’ve been 7500+ stock pushrods stock rockers for 2 years not a single problem

First time I upped my rev limiter to 6800rpm on comp 918 springs and a stock cam and rockers, the pushrods all bent. Every single one of them. Your results may vary. That being said, I would be interested in seeing your pushrods roll flat on a sheet of glass. You may have bent them without knowing.

just had the entire top end off over thanksgiving to make sure everything was good before putting the bigger turbo and there wasn’t a single problem.

Ive tuned or helped refine tunes on a few stock bottom turbo cars running bottom 8's in the 1/4 the past couple years.
8,000-8,200 rpm shifts every pass. Stock lifters and rockers without trunnions in one ljms stage 3 turbo cam setup.

If anything the higher power stuff last longer revving them past peak torque. The mass amounts of load and over timing things break more frequently than any rpm or horsepower figure. To a degree. I know of quite a few people making 1,100 hp on stock bottom setups for quite some time. A few have broken throughout time but that is the sbe gamble.

This pretty much puts my uncertainty to rest but the main reason I was wondering this is because even Stock48, who's quite famous on here for his achievements, at one point said he keeps the revs a bit under 6500 rpm on a turbo'd stock bottom end. However this was 5 years ago or so when I read that info, maybe he does things a bit different now. Perhaps in that case if the turbo is very small, then maybe the back pressure at the higher revs causes its own issues (high heat, detonation).

I'm guessing all turbo cars. The exhaust backpressure actually cushions the pressure on the rotating assembly to some small but not insignificant amount. Blower cars don't get this benefit. Stock lifters and rockers seem to be fine unless you go with some ridiculous N/A cam.
