I think this one is capable of 8500 redline, but the cam and everything else is specs to 5600 rpm max. After that, the hp/ torque curve fall, so it doesnt do any good to go higher. Im still waiting on the PO to get the dyno sheet for me.

the big block is real awesome looking and is cool also has lots of torque....but i like the small block for the rpms, i can crank my small block to the moon..

My bb hits 7k rpm no problem

Mine hits 8000 no problem.

I can rev higher too but I like to shift before red line.

The current drivetrain redlines at 7000, but I built it with a solid lift Crane with higher redline.  I am going to change to a hydraulic roller this time around.

The roller and a good ignition system makes a huge difference.

That's impressive: big block AND 7k or higher redline. I'm scared to take my little small block past 5500 lol
