There is a thread somewhere on this board that discussed it...I think it was never produced except for that one. IIRC, they said something about it winding up to 7500 RPMs or something crazy like that.

I sure remember it... Very nice car. Idled great, and I ran it up to about 7000 or so but from a roll. When I drove the car it had 4.10's but it later had 4.56 gears I hear. Car was very nice. It had some nice ballz but I never beat on it.

I think I remember hearing that pro5.0 mustangs that run 7's run a destroked 351 along with a 101mm turbo. I wonder haw a resleeved ls1 with a short crank would run. PSJ, you may know, has anyone ever tried that type of setup? I'm sure that with the right bearings and if balanced properly, 7500rpm + could be had. Just a thought.

supposively destroked motors run a lot different. high rpms like honda 4 bangers but with more power. they are very high end rpm cars, spin fast but suppose to be pretty flat with torque. this is what i've read though, can't say i've done nor witnessed this.
