That's a pretty common misconception....a longer stroked engine can pull the rpms just like a short stroke engine. I have 4.100" stroke 445W's pulling over 6500, as well as 4.300" stroke Boss 9 engines pulling 6500 rpms.

I have a customer that runs the 7.50 1/8th mile class. The 347 that I did for him gets shifted at 7000.
