I wonder how high you can rev a 5.5 stroke motor repeatedly and reliably ?

well, I wouldn't be surprised if you had the entire WP Force dry humping your fenders when you fired the engines up

What's even more mind boggling is that he can sit at his desk and measure/change these characteristics in a clients engine remotely...anywhere!!! .

Be VERY, VERY nice to your engine builder with that technology -they know when warranty is up. LOL

Not sure? I know the IHRA Pro Stock guys twist them past 8500, but, not for very long and they change valve springs quite frequently. The nice thing about a motor this big is you don't have to spin it up as high as a smaller motor to make huge power.

And for those who don't mind running race fuel.....

Not a big deal when you compare the #'s in this thread to 100's of much smaller motors.

I have a 171 cid RB28 in my car that makes 800+ hp on 93 oct.....so a 557cid would have to make 2600+ hp to compare

Mercury made the best move so far.
