Fuel to 4k+???
As some of you know Im building a new engine for my truck to replace my cracked 53 block. The new one is going to fully ballanced & blueprinted, Im going with the Hamilton Big Stick cam, With new valve springs & pushrods & some head work. Iv been told that with a cam these things really run good & like the higher RPMs. So hear is my question. What should I stack with my Juce W/Attitude to keep it from de-fueling @ 3200 rpm? I would like it to fuel to 4000 rpm so I can hold each gear a little longer. If I can fuel to 4k I would be able to run 70+ in 3rd & 115+ in 4th gear. What are my options to get this? Can I stack a smarty to get the higher RPMs? Please tell me what my options are. TIA

The cam will help you in the higher RPM, but you will still make better power under 3400rpm or so than you will trying to turn it 4k RPM. I like to run mine to about 3200rpm and shift it. It seems to pull best from 2200rpm to 3200rpm. The higher RPM's are good for pulling when you cant shift up another gear, but on the street or drag strip, anything over 3400-3500rpm probably wont do you any good.

Well that sucks! That redline box seems to be very expensive. I dont care how you look at it, that kind of money just to spin 500-800 more RPM really doesnt seem worht it.
