Hi Gang,

I have a fairly new 392 Ford Crate stroker (430 horse) in my Backdraft and have been told by one person) to keep the maximum REV's on these storkers fairly low. I have about 1,500 miles on the motor now and it is doing great so far and I don't want to GRENADE it! I have been running a 6,000 RPM chip in my MSD Rev limiter but that sure seems low to me.

What do you think? What would you feel might be the maximum
RedLine for this motor?

Here's more details if it will help you:
Stainless steel engine compartment panels. Ford Motor Sports (crate) 351 (392) CID 430 HP, 450 ft/lb. of torque @ 4,000 r.p.m., 9.7 to1 compression. GT-40 Ford Aluminum 1.94" and 1.54" Racing heads # M-6049-X303 and GT-40 valve train. Hydraulic roller cam and roller lifters. .566" intake and .576" exhaust @ .050" is 232 degrees intake and 240 degrees exhaust. Firing order 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 It uses a Victor Jr. single plane manifold and a Demon 750 carburetor. Motor # 351W FMS 6007-A392 with MSD AL6 ignition w/rev limiter.

You in-put please!

THANKS
Doc
