What else have you done to your car to run 7000 rpm without disaster! I've
had my engine balanced , rods shot peened and I've never gone above 5500rpm
and I won't cruise on the highway over about 3600rpm. I'll run the car up to
4000 on the highway for maybe a minute but that's about it. 7000 rpm WOW!
How'd you do it?

to work fine on my "race" car. Last year I went whole hog and got an
elctromotive ignition -- this allowed me to dispense with the distributor
entirely. It has three coils, is dead on all the time, no points, and I can
electgronically set the advance at 1000, 3000 and 8000 RPM. the advance
changes linearly between the settings. I have a fairly hot cam, high
compression, thriple webers. Initial advance is about 16 degrees, total at
3000 is 34 degrees, I neither add nor rolloff advance at 8000. Car will
easily pull to 7000 rpm, and I have done 6200 in 5th [Toyota conversion,
Nissan 4.08 diff] on the track -- prbably aboyut 125 given that 70 is about
3400 RPMs based on clocking it on the highway].
