Ported Indy VS open chamber ported W2

Ol'man. My buddy, Chevy clown,but otherwise a good fella, tries to rub his 9,000 rpm car in my face. I just smile and ask if his cam/engine is even making power past 6500 and laff. His combo? THPHHH (Razz-berries) not worth 7 grand.

BUT, what the deal is with any engine is, build it right and RPM is not an issue.
