most i've seen was somewhere around 8k rpm before it streched a rod. stock 01 bottom end, rod bolts still in tact when the motor was disassembled. granted, this was not on purpose. was a t-rex car that had trans. problems on the bottle...apparently blew past the 7,400 limiter. computer showed soemthing like 7,900 rpm reached before it started to wind down and that's when it went boom. kinda cool. saw some pieces of a rod in the throttlebody heh.

I have been shifting at 7000rpm for 2 years now with a 7200rpm limiter. 67K miles on the bottom end.
On the street, it rarely sees more then 3500 LOL
Six Speeds Inc spun their stock bottom end to 7600/7800 repeatedly when they went 10.1 with H/C/I
