[Supras] mk3 block differences?

[Sean Cavanaugh]

I thought reliable revs was why they went to the fully counterweighted 7M crank from the previous 6M crank.
as for balancing, theres nothing keeping the engine from hitting 7k or more revs with a properly balanced rotating assembly. my NA hit 6500 with no modifications. You will most likely need aftermarket rods and pistons to hit really high revs though.
 
I think I even saw some guy who had a 2JZ that had about a 9k redline (needless to say he sank some money into building the engine)-Sean
