Haha well when your driving his car and he is stuck in the truck that gets 14 MPG he is getting kind of testy and yes the balancer is fugly what is it about the damper ive read something about the helps with higher RPM's and such?

But on a real note.

Stepping from 3.42s to a 3.73 gear. a Yank or Vig 4k stall over a TCI piece of ****. Stepped headers. LS1 lid over CAI and a serious tune on it instead of a mild tune. I mean the car ******* pulled 1.75 60 times with a 100 MPH pass so something seems to be wrong there to me.

What you think i can squeeze out power wise.

Well no ARP rod bolts in it but like MYLTWON said its a fresh rebuilt motor....

whats a safe limit to rev it too because i know the cam wants RPM's but I also want my car to last.

6500 will be fine; tell your dad stock lt4s are 10:8:1 so he obviously is wrong.

that motor you bought was turning 6500 easily. does it still have the water pump housing with the -AN fittings welded to it? if so that is a meziere pump and it is likely on its last legs.
