You know you can't turn an Engine 9000 rpm thats what I was told remember.....by someone who evidently knows....

Why would one turn an engine 9,000 rpm when 7,400 rpm will get it done is the real question.

Lem back in the day when I ran a 302 Boss we turned them there all the time, but I was informed it couldn't be done........... so I guess my Tach was off by a couple thousand RPM......

wheel speed- when you don't have the option of changing gears going down the track

I hear you but the context here is BIG inch BBF. Don turns his 400" SBF stuff 9,400...that's what it takes to get it done.

The real question might be where in the world is Free Lander?

It's a matter of not having the option of a 638" engine and/or having the wrong grears for a given track.....
