Who has the highest revving small block?

More than once I have bumped both my "mean teen" and my 360 off a 7400 chip in my rev limiter.

It's not all that hard to pull the rpm, cam , compression, carburetion, will get you there; DURABILITY is another story, THAT is what costs money.

My "mean teen" as I call it, is nothing more than a junk yard 318 with way too much cam, a Comp XTQ281S-6, angle milled 360 heads with 2.02 intakes, and a Holley 750 DP, at 7000 rpm it was a symphony of the finest music, I also thought I heard fuse burning every time I raced it. Raced it hard for a season, it's in the corner of the garage as my spare if I need it.

I remember Suzuki's GSXR 750, the bottom of the tack scale was 3000 rpm, and red line was 12,500; F1 engines idle at 7000rpm and peak at 20-22,000.
