Would imagine you were getting 300 + more rpm with the blower.

don't know, i've pretty much always had a blower motor, every time going bigger. now i'm up to a 598 w/a 1071. this is the first engine i've bought that i didn't assemble. so far, so good.

The 731 in his 467ci engine should pull hard to about 5800rpms.
