[DeTomaso] 408 Stroker Life Expectancy

[Art Stephens]

Ken,
     It would be nice to run it up to 6000 or 6500 from time to time,  but 
of course that would only be in first or second gear.  The higher gears at 
that rpm would be exceeding the speed limit and far be it from me to do such 
a thing.  Now the Silver State could be a different story.  6000 rpm in my 
car should be 180 mph,  6500 should be 195 mph.  Some day at the SS,  I'd 
like to find out what she'll do.  I'm really thinking that I would like to 
run the 130 mph class and try to get away without running an oil cooler.  My 
percentage of SS type miles will be small as opposed to someone like the 
Dawg.

Art, (ready to get back in the saddle), Stephens
