7-8k rpm's should be available with a 427 Stroke - shouldn't it? I have a max shift point of 7,000 with my 427 standard stroke and it just still wants to go but I don't let it. A builder on this site, **** ****** shifts his 428 at 8200 and it lasted the entire season, so why the short stroke - what gain? George Anderson, I believe shifts at 7,200 or is that Don Borders - but one of them does with confidence as long as the engine/valve train, etc. etc. is set up properly. Sorry to be a fuddy duddy but I don't see the potential unless a short stroke was getting you 10-11K shift points.
