Where should I set my redline on a stock 390?

By Steve M. - 09/03/2004 1:13:12 AM; IP 209.115.87.2

What RPM will these 390's start sucking valves? It is a 1970 model 390. It is all stock except for headers,manifold and a 4 barrel carb. I am racing it for the first time and dont want to blow it up. Is 5000 ok, or can I go longer between shifts safely. I blew up a 351 last year due to not knowing the limits of it so I dont want a repeat. Thanks.

This thread, so far...
