He says it can turn 11,000 rpm and produce 600hp. 11,000 rpm, but set up to shut down at 7800 rpm? I dont know anything about these things, but 11,000 seems a little high.

KABOOM

To conclude on the engine, it is safe to say that at peak performance the car can reach up to 11,000 RPM and can produce over 600 horsepower, something that has yet to be achieved with a naturally aspirated LT5 V8. The car however is setup to shut down at 7800 RPM, promoting its longevity and ensuring detonation and bleeding of the valves does not occur. It is, by far, a masterpiece that should be considered an automotive revelation.

Yea, you can rev anything out to 11grand once I bet this one would only make it once too, even though it is "an automotive revelation" What an idiot

Not saying that I believe him but the LT5 is the most exotic engine they ever put into a Vette. Redline for a stock LT5 is 7200 rpm. Which is pretty high for a v8 anyhow. Although I doubt he has invested anywhere near the amount of money to rev the motor that high. I'm also calling BS.

For an american V8 they were ahead of their time, they are definitely cool engines. Im 33 and I can still remember all the media hype when the hit the roads.

couldn't you get 9,000 out of a Chevy DZ 302?

[68GTO]

With the stroke and the weight of the reciprocating mass, this engine could NEVER achieve 11,000 RPM. Not possible. nope. Might it hit 9,000? Maybe a couple of times, but they it would fly apart....

This is stroker engine for a STROKER.

[sport the war]

30k? best of luck with that.

I think it is completely possible with an overhead cam engine. Usually the problem is with a push rod engines valve train, it is far to heavy to be turned that fast. If he did have a crank and rods custom made from billet and then forged they are extremely light and strong.

My father and uncle have built race engines out of the garage and have made some incredible revs. We had a 429 that got turned into a BOSS 460 and that engine ran 8200 RPM on a 3/8 mile dirt track all season. We also had a 351 Cleveland in a Ford Falcon as a quarter-mile car that shifted a 9000. Those are all push rod engines. Believe me if you will and if not it wouldn't be the first time.

I'll believe the 9. I wont believe 11000

The new F1 V8's turn almost 20,000 RPM, so yea maybe not this one but V8's can turn that fast. A guy I know in long lake builds 870hp chevy race motors that turn 9300, so it can happen (course that one was $37k).

29,000 ya right

I know that Nascar engines turn 9000+ rpm all day long. That is not the question here. This guy makes a claim in his listing that is completely unreasonable. For the price of the car and the claims made, he's full of That particular engine, if we are to believe it, would not run to 11,000 rpm. I'll give him 9,000 as I said earlier. The cost of his claims via engine alone would put the cost of the car at twice the listed amount and it would be completely unstreetable. Also, it would make WAY more HP than claimed in his ad. I believe that you build ford Boss engines to spin this high. Completely understood!
