Default Max RPM?

I was wondering how high a stock bottom end was able to rev to with only ARP connecting rod bolts and everything else stock?

A cam should determine your max rpms. Your power will drop way off a certain rpm with differant cams. My tr224 fell on its face at 6900rpm so I had the rev limiter set at 6800rpm. I have read of some spinning 7000+ W/ the arp rod bolts, But if your not making power up there no need to spin it that high.

Sure it will. Keep in mind that while the ARP rod bolts will help, you're still severely shortening the life of your shortblock.
