Default My last BBC help question.... I hope...

my 468 has a casting number 7416 gm 1053 steel 4" stroke crank that has been Nitrided and 7/16 dimple rods with arp standard 8740 rod bolts. It has srs pop up pistons and LS6 heads with a roller cam etc etc..

my question is what would be a safe rpm/HP level with this crank and rods? I got a great deal on the shortblock and I am just hoping I can use it safely.

My car is geared for 1/8 mile with 4.86, all but 1 of the tracks I race at is 1/8. but if I sneak off to the 1/4 mile track I would need about 7400 out of this...

thank you for your help...
