redline

[potopaj]

What do the nailheads red line at and what's the limiting factor?

I have mine balanced/blueprinted forged pistons/HD valve springs/and big cam.

I haven't taken her past 5, although she will make power after that. I heard no signs of valve walk, or any other funky signs that anything was wrong, but I like to be paranoid.

What is the stock redline, and what have folks that build them out to rev them out to?

I had my 4speed hardtop at 5500 (if I can believe the factory tach) during a few buried speedo runs back in the 80's. It is all stock and was running out of breath. The heads are the limiting factor on the nailheads. Dan
