I routinely ran my hemi V8 to 9,000 on pulling tracks. I've never used a press fit on a Pontiac crank snout (damper or blower pulley hub). However, the hemi hub is not a "loose slip fit"- it's a precise "snug fit", requiring a puller to remove it. Admittedly it's a smaller engine than most of you run- only 370 c.i. and 900 HP.
