![]() Hey I was wondering what i woudl have to change to have my 5.0 survive 8,000 RPM?
I was plannign on buying a Victor intake that has the RPM range at 4k to 8k. I cant decide if i want jr or regular victor heads? Basically i want to knwo can i have a motor built fo rall teh power to be in the high high RPM range and still have it be driveable? If I shift at around 7500 what would bea good combo? Is this complete lunacy? I know ill lack alot mroe power down low but I really dont want it as I can hold any traction anyway. I will have 3.55 gears probally for better roadabilty so i dont **** every few feet. If I stay below 2500 RPM around town will i still be getting 1 MPG or somethign reasonable. I know the ports are alot bigger but i dont knwo how this will affect my gas consumption and power. Anyone hav a guess at my numbers at diffrent RPM. Also for this combo im gonna have to get a crazy cam as well i figured and figured that will mess up some stuff. Any help here? Should i not try to rev taht high or is it possible for a street car if i modify it. Also gimme all the ideas you guys got. Thanks
