revving to the moon?
revving to the moon? Sorry for what I'm sure is a faq, but what steps and parts are needed to make an LS1/6 capable of surviving being revved way up there?
I'm doing an ASA/GMPP CNC LS6 h/c swap on a stock bottom end in the near term, but am looking towards a 427 after that. Other than going with a quality rotating assembly with an excellent balance/blueprint job, what do I need to look for if I love the sound of a proper 'merkin V8 revving it's heart out?
Any input on what a realistic rev limit would be for something that needs to retain some semblance of daily driver civility?
Thanks!

From: Your Reality Check Bounced...
stock...6700 safely 6700-7000 ur on barrowed time 7000+ better start looking for another shortblock.....
Built...as in like an MTI 427.....it just depends on how much money u spin....but you can usually get up to 7500 safely on a decently built motor.
