its hard to say. have you had it dyno tuned..what do u make max hp at. you want to do it a little bit after you make max hp so your overall average hp it greater.

I run mine around 72-7300 rpm Last year I upgraded to just ARP 2000 rod bolts, but no problem when I was doing 6800 on the stock 2000 rod bolts.

like ive said many times before on here its all a game of chance. when i first got the car i stretched a rod bolt and spun a bearing just passing a dude on the highway. now since the rebuild i hit the 7k mark all the time and no problems

I'm rebuilding my engine because I spun a bearing, possibly stretched a rod bolt. 6600 RPM on a regular basis with a 153K shortblock. I wouldn't chance it with a '98 engine.

When I first started running my car i was shifting at 6500 and having to go into OD before i hit the trap. I raised my shift point to 7300 and now i go through in drive and I picked up 3 tenths by doing so. I have the Katech rod bolts with the supporting valve train.
