How high will this motor spin?
Forged 9.2 compression 383 with a TC78.
Cam-224/224 .577/.582 114 LSA
Rockers-crower 1.65
Springs-Comp 26094-16. Seat load: 178lbs @1.900''_Open load: 459lbs @1.275_Rate: 449lbs/in
Lifters-LS7 with about .00416" preload
Currently only spinning to 6000, but would like to turn it up a little. I'm making 600hp and 600ft/lbs spinning to 6000.

Re: How high will this motor spin?
You can spin it higher than 6000, but the more relevant question is should you. Likely, no. With a 383 and only 224 deg of duration with the small T4 78 mm turbo, it's going to be done by 6000. At least, that was my experience. However, it should trap over 145 mph in the quarter shifting at 6000.
