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

Let me re-phrase the question...logic tells me that stroking a 302 to 331 or 347, or a 351W out to 445 would require significant spend on the rotating assembly to make them as happy at 6500 as a standard stroke engine, yes?
Re-phrasing further, what spend would be required to make a 347 safe at 7000, and a 445W safe at 6500?
I like this friendly banter, Brent. Keep it coming!
