Serious 340 build into 361 HiRPM Screamer

I really don't understand some peoples fetish, or perceived need, to rev their engines beyond the point at which they are providing any return. I swear some people gauge output on sound, not empirical data. Why would you want to unnecessary risk your engine just for the thrill of saying you revved it to some number? Sorry, I don't get it.

For perspective, my Superstock 340 with a very large solid roller, peaked at 6850RPM. I highly doubt many of these street engines are making power anywhere near that high.

@RAMM this is not directed at your build, I think this is very cool and eagerly await the results.
It all depends on the situation. We truck pull which is basically a drag race with 35.000 pounds behind you. We run the engine to 85-8600 that way when the pan hits it falls into the power at about 7500rpm
