Thanks! We have to run Methanol, and it "idles" at around 1500 rpm comfortably. It's peak rpm is in the upper 7k's, but we select our gears aiming for around 7200 rpm. What is really trick that we're trying this year is this set-up called a rev kit. It includes a plate that sits under the head, and has springs that go between it and the lifters. The pushrods go through the middle of them. The point is to help keep the lifters in contact with the cam, which is sometimes a problem with Sprint car engines because since they don't have transmissions, or a flywheel to spin, they are able to rev extremely quickly. 1500 rpm to 7000 rpm in .5 seconds.

Take care,
-Chris
