Rev past 7500 rpm and be streetable at low revs? That may be a hard one to design.

You just want it to rev past 7500 or do you want power past 7500?

I wouldn't go with the Eagle rods....you want a bulletproof bottom end for turning that kind of rpms.....If your crank is cast, I wouldn't use it either. If you really wanna go through with the high revver, use some higher quality rods....and make sure they're H-beam. Venolia, Callies, Carillo, Oliver would be some good choices.

Your cam specs will be the toughest to come up with. Just call Crane or Comp cams and tell them what you want. They can give you the best choices.....and I'd say you'll have to sacrifice a little on either your low end power or your high end power.

What kind of horsepower you looking to find?
