can it be done 5500-6000 rpm 3rd gen
we need something to make these engines turn massive rpm for sled pulling apps. i want to see something make them turn 5500 to 6000 so we can lock down the super street class and really put the nail in the coffin on the 12valves. that way you can generate the wheel speed going done the track. that a 12valve can make.

But as for you and me - our 3rd gens are still street driven. What we need to do is get our heads together and figure out a pulling suspension for a 3rd gen. Dont take me wrong b/c I do feel RPMs make a difference. I just think that a suspension and an the right kind of auto tranny will do alot for us. Not just RPMs. I am with you though on getting the 3rd gens there.

I'd want to tear down the motor and have the rotating assembly balanced to within at least 1/4 gram if not better before doing that. I'd also would want to look at a main stud girdle. It might not be completely neccessary but at least I'd feel better about running it that high.

Dwitt,
Not that I can add much to this in a serious way...but I have often wondered what a 3rd gen would sound like turning those RPMS. I love hearing those guys turning 5's to 6's. I know there has to be someone that has one making those revs.
