What isthebest Engine RPM Where Peak HP will Occur

I am trying to figure where the most power is being made on a 383 with 10.1 pistons comp cam 268H and 2.02 heads it will be fueled by a 750 demon carb. I was also wondering how high can you safely rev a 383 with stock rods?
Thanks

I pull mine to 5500 rpms, but it varies so much from engine to engine. Pull to much, you can get valve float, not enough, loose power and torque output. Without a SOLID bottom, I would stick close to 5500.

Good luck!

You need to make the most torque you can at the highest rpm you can to make the most HP you can. Simple math...
