SVOs were 6500 from the factory and nothing was different on the bottom end.

With good rods/bolts, they will go 8000. Mini stock guys twist the stock rods with good bolts to 7500-8000 also. This is stupid though because you can buy new rods for the same money as putting the bolts in and having the big end resized. They do it because of rules.

Thankfully, us "Street Warriors" don't have rules :)
