need an educated guess on rpm here

not really a problem, more just curiosity.

my engine is essentially a stock 84 lg4. all mods are listed in sig.
its got performer intake, holley 600, and the cam listed below. heads are completely stock aside from normal engine rebuild procedures. yes i know it needs different springs. my main question is how many rpm can i safely(in drag race situation) turn on the stock bottom end and other parts?


don't be afraid to answer, i won't hold anyone responsible if i try your suggestion, and get bad results

The stock bottom end is good to about 6k. But the combination you have listed will have long sice ceased to rpoduce meaningful power well before that, so it's probably not an issue unless you miss a gear. It will probably go the fastest shifting somewhere between 4800 and 5200.

Shifting at around 5k seemed to work ok for me when I had my LG4.
