So this question has probably been answered numerous times, but I have done some googling and haven't came across a straight answer by really anyone. Was wondering what the top rpm of a chevy 261 would be? Took my truck to the track this past weekend and have a rev limiter that is set at 4300 but I'm about 20-50 feet from the trap and I'm hitting the rev limiter. Was wondering if I could take it to say 4500 and be ok? Motor has a 3/4 race cam and a fresh head that was just redone.
