This is origanal post. got to jawin about rev lim and rpms, then swapped a scary drivin story, thats allpokeytemplar said:I was checking out their site (once again) and I had to ask you all this question:
How in the world can they make that engine run at 5400-6300RPM continuously without the #3 throwing? I know that they are showing "at the crank" HP and TQ numbers but people have blown theirs with less. Is it still all just a matter of tuning?
Just throwing this one out there for your opinions...........

Stinker said:off set grinding the crank puts the rods into a different angle thru the bore, it has been done and alot
but there actually is no gain in hp, just bragging rights of cubic inches, you will gain a touch of trq, but hp usually there isnt much difference,
your best bet is to resleave the block and go with a larger bore to get more cubes.. there fore more hp.
let me state something tonight, here , and now, i am not an expert on viper engines , that takes years and years of experince to do, but i am wanting to get into the building of them, and with that for the past 6 months have done a ton of homework.
going with a 522 does give you more cubes, but not neccessarily more hp.
one can actually make jsut as much on 505 cubes![]()
for years some builders have used the 522 deal as a way of mking tons more $ when actually it dont take not that much more to do a 522, jsuta little more machinging
Stinker said:eagel makes a 6.123 rod which isnt really a viper sized rod, it si the same as others, the crank has to be machined to match, and the pin size is .927, they just used the rods size from a 340-360 mopar.
oliver rods with are the choice of major builders run $1850,
i dont even mess with carrillo, there rods are way too over priced and you get the same quality for 1k less with oliver or even dyers
HEY JT , thank you kindly:congrats: I will keep it under 55 ,5400 is plenty fast to do sum asswaxin:rock:Stinker said:I'm a little tired and hungover so this is short and blunt so excuse me![]()
going past 6000 rpms is jsut dumb, peak hp on a heavily modded motor stops at 5800rpms and thats a heavily modded motor, there are some that go to 7000 rpms but youare talking a 60k motor, total with stud girdles, finely matched pistons, 2k rods, and a ton other stuff, but........they dont live long, they are built for one reason and one reason only........a pass at atime.
9 out of 10 motors on this forum quit making hp at 5400rpms, you risk major breakdown and valve float after that.
even with a good set of aftermarket springs please dont go past 6300rpms , and then you are jsut waisting rpms:argh: so why do it?
jsut because it sounds cool? anything that turns up that high is made purposly for short stretches and it takes a ton of money.
