Mine has a piper 285 cam and peak power is at about 6400 so I don't bother taking it much past there.

Its probably not lying, pintos are rev hungry engines and really do like to rev high. If they haveno limiter they will rev very high indeed, only
limited by the size of carbs/TB's fitted.
On standard internals with a 205block 7300rpm is the recommended max with the conrods being the weakest point. The standard crank will take 9000rpm if
the flywheel is double dowelled.

On the track mine goes to 7000rpm in second, third, and maybe 4th. But as Jacko says it's very brief before changing gear.
But! I've had the car on rolling roads a couple of times, you tell the operator, yea take it up to 7000. .....and it takes ages to get from 6000
to 7000 under load, not good for the nerves!

They'll probably go to 8000RPM. Once.
