Not Ranked
It takes a lot of highly specialized and expensive parts to happily do 8000 rpm. Also, turning 8000 rpm and making power at 8000 is a whole other story. Making peak horsepower at 8000 rpm with only 289 cubic inches will pretty much insure that you have zero bottom end whatsoever, a lot less than the "hot cam" scenarios that we've been discussing so far.
