Since higher rpms result in blistering piston speeds and since big cams tend to loose compression, custom pistons with a minimum of 12:1 compression or higher will be needed in addition to a set of premium rods. A mustang would need at least a 4.56 geard rear end or lower to make use of a high reving motor combo described. Basically, if you want a high reving push rod motor, see Jack Roush for a NASCAR motor. -------------------- 2001 SVT cobra convertible with a Viper T56, Fikse wheels, Griggs frame kit, roll bar, Vortech, 4:30 gears, brembo GT brakes and more.
