What kind of power to expect from a stock 6.0 with a trex cam

Gains of 130+hp are pretty common with the T-Rex...but you HAVE to know what you're doing when tuning it or you're going to be VERY dissapointed in it, a T-Rex will want 6800+rpm shift points and a 875rpm idle speed and it's NOT a cam to put in a vehicle over 3500lbs unless you're gonna be running a 4k stall converter

cool sounds good, now the next question will the stock long block take 7k rpms with good valve springs & pushrods? and how much nitrous will a stock long block hold safely?

Gonna need to upgrade the rod bolts for sure. Ive seen what CAN happen at about 6400 on the stockers
I know a LOT of people exceed that on a normal basis with the stockers, but mine just decided it had enough I guess.
Im not sure where the rods become the weak point, but I imagine its way over 7K
