A friend of mine sells parts at a chevy dealer, and has told me that the GM performance crate engines has MAXRPM 5500 written on the tape or whatever they seal the carb mounting surface up with. Also you should go your performance parts catalog or gm's online catalog and see where they reccomend ais where you run the thing.
As for your defense of the entry fee being that it is touring racing, it is still $1,200 to win and $100 to start, that is not warranting a entry fee, simply. It is hard to justify traveling and maintaining a race car and tire inventory for those pay outs without the entry fee, when you add the entry fee, you just make racing your series not make dollars and sense to the racer. I am not trying to run down anyone, I am just speaking from a racers perspective.
