it's now rev limited to 6500... it's not so unbelievable considering it's been balanced, and has heavier valve springs to control valve bounce... only limiting factor is stroke length, and i mean if ford can make the long stroke 5.4 boss rev like that, anythings possible

Hmm, cant do anything in November mate. I'm doing a fishing trip over to Yalata (1200km each way(right at the edge of the Nullabor)) early in November and I'll be taking a few days off work it. So I'll have to take it easy for a little while after that. But, I'm keen mate. Would love to see the 3rd rock crew in action.

Cheers........HB
