Max RPM for da slant?

When slant6racer replies you might be surprised, maybe not.
I ran my hyper pak 232 to 7400 a couple of times before I invested in a rev limiter. Damn that second gear! Stock 225 rods with DC rod bolts and TRW forged 60 over pistons. With the rev limiter I was using a 6600 pill. 4 speed car with a 4.88. I heard the same thing about the 170 engines, 8K. I was going to find out with the wagon, but now I am SOL.
