safe rev limit on forged ls6? anyone like to advise what the likely safe max rpm would be on my new shortmotor once complete and run in properly? its a new ls6 block, 6l GM crank and wiseco pistons/carrilo rods from WRE.
valvetrain is beehive springs, hardened pushrods, comp cam retainers, and a mild 220/220 111lsa cam.
i expect the cam to peak out at 6200-6300rpm or so anyway but what would the engine take safely/realistically for track use (not drag). oiling is ARE dry sump and a melling pump.
i'm awaiting an reply from WRE to the same question but nothing back yet.
