My full built bulltna 3.4 makes great power to 7200 but i don't wanna take it much more yet.....
Will say NOTHING else at our big car meets sounds like a 60° 2.8-3.4 at high rpms

Buy the numbers a 2.8 should be able to turn 14K if the part were strong enough. [ Bore to stroke ratio math wiz stuff. had a friend who went through every engine , only the Iron duke has a better ratio ]

Re: so what does a v6 turning 7K+ rpms sound like
we got mine to spin so high by modifying the lifters and running a really stiff valve spring. everytime we wing the motor over 8,200 i would just throw away the valve springs as it would beat them to death.
so be carefull reving urs that high, hell im surprised it will actually go that high n/a in gear

Nice sound , my first stock thirdgen 3.1 auto would wind round to 7k. No power but sounded great lol I always thought it sounded like a babey ferrari, it had this high pitch playful note to it, I guess it was the stock can but im not sure.

Re: so what does a v6 turning 7K+ rpms sound like
I freaking love the sounds of the high reving v6 heres mine turning 6200 when i shift. Sounds bad ****.
I think the highest i ever reved mine up on purpose was about 6800 and that was screaming.

Re: so what does a v6 turning 7K+ rpms sound like
I filmed those videos with my old camera in front of Paul's house, you almost lost control during the first run (second video), you came back shaking, I remember that day like it was yesterday lol. You never ran the car at the track with that big turbo you slapped on there, you would have been in the tens with that much stall and the right boost, you just needed more fuel. I remember putting it on, you were freaking out because the exhaust was spitting water and we were thinking the worst, but it was just condensation from sitting...

Re: so what does a v6 turning 7K+ rpms sound like
sounds like alot of noise and not really going anywhere not enough cubes (flow) to get the turbo wound up in a reasonable time .people put big turbos on small motors that cant turn em really bogs down when hitting 2nd

I take my N/A 3500 regularly to 7k and it sounds amazing. No head work done, just cam, valve springs, pushrods.

Re: so what does a v6 turning 7K+ rpms sound like
Guys, this car was more than sixty feet away from me when I was filming it the first time, and the car was literally still squatting and spinning the tires as it freaking passed me. Dave, do they even know you were running a 4500-stall speed with a spool? Did you show them your head work? The damn car had ten second quarter mile times in it back then, and his boost pressure was nowhere near maxed out, and his fueling was holding him back, not to mention the locked timing because of the piggy backed Megasquirt only controlling VE...

Re: so what does a v6 turning 7K+ rpms sound like
Without daves car i would never have done to mine what i have. He was my inspiration back when i though a V6 was just slow period. He had one bad **** lil v6 then.
Ill add i have a big turbo and my car sure doesnt bog down when shifting. Yea its a auto and having a 3500 stall eliminates any bogging. Once the boost is there its there. Daves was just like that.

Re: so what does a v6 turning 7K+ rpms sound like
had no problems spooling up that custom 60-1 turbo , we had literally 5 min prior bolted that turbo onto the motor , no tuning shot those 2 clips and went to the dyno
the car made over 300 hp and 400fltbs that same day with the injectors maxed out and no timing advance , last pull of the day i manually set base timing 1-2* higher and picked up 35 rwhp this was all with total timing at 12*
