I'm reminded of the 60's 427 NASCAR engines, running 7K rpm for 3-4 hours with a standard coil, dual point distributor and cast iron rocker arms is unthinkable today. I've hit 7K RPM maybe 3-4 times in the 15K I have on my engine and I cringed every time.

I seriously doubt a today's FE 427 would do that much better, how could it?.
