I'm not exactly sure of the stroke in this engine, but the piston speed is right up there with NHRA Prostock engines.

If you compare Mikes projected 9000 RPM, it's like turning a small block 350ci engine to 12,000 RPM.

At these piston speeds, you are on the edge of maintaining the integrity of specific alloys within the rotating assembly.

Best of luck to you and your team!
