It has more to do with the power curve than the peak numbers.

Assuming all else is equal - If those numbers are down low in the rev range, then your cooking those tires with every twitch of your toe.

If however those numbers are higher in the rev range then you'll get away with it if you drive softly in the lower rpm range.

ECU management of power delivery can help here.
Mind you this is easily said in theory and something else to achieve in practice.

Thems my humble thoughts.

Dimis,

I found this which gives you an idea about the power and torque:



Mike...the LS3 in my HSV R8 redlines at 6600rpm. It revs out nicely...especially after the tune it had. The LSA also has a 6600rpm rev limit.
