Idle's at 4k rpm. LOL :lol: That's half my entire usable rpm. Damn that is an amazing feat of engineering. I want to be part of a team that designs that sort of thing.

It redline's @ ~7600, It doesn't hit rev limit till just under 8k.

Althought I don't think it make anymore power after 7200 or something like that. At least not with the stock camshafts. I think that next on my list o' mods for the lude. Can you imagine my motor w/ a fully built head. 9 rpm rev limit. 260 Hp. Yummmm.........
