It's irony that the aspect of the 292 that makes it an amazing engine, is also the limiting factor to gaining high rpm horsies. Ah well, how many people wind an engine to 6k+ on the street anyway?

Tom, you've done us all a great deal, and given us real numbers to put with parts. Even if the biggest cams don't get tested, we all know more than when we started, and I think that's the whole point.

So, thank you. And I'm especially looking forward to the next batch of numbers to start making conclusions about what'll make a nice street thumper.
