There was some slow secret sauce poured into the trans to help with the higher rpm shifts tho, eat that TSM lol

With OEM rod-bolts, I'd be reluctant to exceed 8000rpm, but that is just me.
Remember, NASCAR engines run 9500rpm and more for hours and they are all >3-inch stroke.

great thread btw! I was hoping to find something like this. Sry you had to sell.
Did you ever take it to 9k? I saw you mentioned it, I have yet to watch all the videos (thank you for videos!)
and as it was asked before, the stock internals are able to support the higher then 7.5 redline easily. My goal is really just 8k with NA reliably and am starting to look into external oil pumps, as is sounds like the Nismo pump is not enough. Any advice is defiantly appreciated.
All of my cars have been NA engine builds ( 1999 civic hb & 1999 Miata ), I am collecting data for this platform as this v6 thing is new to me.
