Well, Curious to see what kind of RPM's you all are doing with the 60/65E and the 80E. Who is doing over 7K? Reason I am asking is I may be doing a "big" cam on some cubes that will require a big stall and high shift points. Trying to see if the tranny's are holding up to the higher RPM's. Any info would be great!

Thanks guys. My new build will have me shifting pretty high, which in an F-bod I have no reservations however in a 5500 pound brick with gobs of power, I have some concerns. I am targeting the 80E conversion however may keep the 65E in there until the tuning process is over.

Cam profiles and head design will have me shifting around 6800. Haven't settled on a final set-up yet.

Kevin,

Is the new build going to be strictly strip or will it also be streetable (if thats even a word)? Just curious. Thanks. Looking forward to seeing where you go with it.
