Not Ranked
Rev Kit is a sport compact term. Rice burners are limited physically and electronically from excessive rpms. As no new car has been equipped with an FE since the early 70's and no truck has been made with an FE since 1976 there are no computer controlled restrictions to overcome. You may choose to do so by installing a rev limiter like the MSD 6AL CD ignition or other digital ignition box.
Physics is your only enemy. FE's can be made to live well past 7500. Some have been known to live beyond that. Balance and airflow are key. Cam duration, lift and valve size, 2.25" intake and 1.73" exhaust are your only limiting factors on a standard bore 427. Shelby and Genesis blocks can go to 4.5" though valves larger than 2.25" are still limited by head design.
The question is why? if you are pre disposed to a techno approach to your car I suggest you look at a low revving stump pulling 428 or 454 (stroked 427) with a 6 speed trans much like the Viper does. The V-10 makes max HP at 5500. but has a theoretical top speed of 300+ mph.
