    Re

    that cam should go more than 6500. A friend has the next one up and turns 6800 with over 100 more cubes. What rods are in it. Do you just not want to rev it any more. If it was me I would go back to at least the 4.10 gear victor jr intake and rev it a little over 7000 that might get you there but it would be harder on the engine. Maybe you already tring all that. Is the cam advanced or straight up? You might just need to some more cubes if you dont want to rev it.

    With a track like that, Ivy, you may never leave home again!! Looks like it's going to be a really nice facility.
