It's a KC motor, it's almost a sure bet he has a hydraulic roller. Which is great for maximum tire smoke at low rpm,,, if that's what you want.

It would also be unlikely a motor THAT big, 510 cid, would be a high rpm motor. I'm thinking, 6,000 max, 5,800 more reasonable.

If hydraulic, then the RPM's will be over by 6,200-ish
Wait, have you got that backwards? Hydraulic roller is typically lower rpm cam than a solid, and without the exotic lifters and such is generally limited to 5,800-6,000. A solid roller is a high rpm application, not likely with the MASSIVE stroke of a 510. But's it a KC motor, who knows what kind of magic he has wrought on that puppy!

Solid roller might be good for around 7,000. No way you would crank a 510 THAT high,,, would you? Man, that would be crazy!
