Your cam will pretty much set your power band. Also once you start getting over about 7000 rpms you have to take oiling and the necesary spring pressures into effect. Once your motor starts turning that many revolutions you begin to need some stouter springs so you dont "float the valves." Also turning such a high rpm and running really strong springs are just asking to collapse hydraulic lifters. You may want to look into spray bar valves covers to be safe. Also 7k-8k rpms...not very easy to acheave on the street unless you are in 1st-2nd with 5.36 gears. I would consider a 6000 or 6500 power peak.
I dont mean to tell the mod what to do, you may know all of this. Just hate to see someone put a bunch of money into something that will turn into a pile of metal the first time they torque it up.
