My 231/237 peaked right around 6250rpm. Give me and email addy and I'll mail you a copy of one of my dyno graphs. The 231/237 is a really nice cam, I love mine.

hey gomer, how do you like your b&b exhaust? I've heard the videos online but never in person, they sound pretty sick or what?

6200 is a little low on the 231/237, I think the last one was about 6350 or so...
