Lou,
I have a .650" lift 12.5:1 440 bracket motor in a cuda I bought intending to put it back on the street (different motor of course...). The original owner said he shifted it at 6000 rpm...it had a 3500 stall fairbanks converter and way too low gears (best timeslip I found in the glovebox was around 11.5). Anyway, all on a hi flow high press. pump. Scary, but testament to how tough they are.
