Not Ranked
You can rev a stroker to 7000rpm
but you better have light pistons and good H-beam rods and a really nice crank
Really large runner heads aren't necessary, and will cost you low and mid-range torque. I used to do work on several cobras with edelbrock performer heads that made over 500 hp (dyno verified) on pump gas, and pulled hard to the 7000 rpm rev limiter. same engine combo with vic jr. heads and the mid range was weaker, but a couple more ponies on the top end. For all around drivability and fun, don't sacrifice mid-range torque for top end HP. just my opinion
