it’s not that flat-plane V8s can rev higher (that’s all due to airflow and peak piston speed) but that they can rev quicker due to the lighter rotating mass.

I’d love to see the maintenance
intervals for that thing.

Rebuild or replace after 500 miles of WOT

If it is like most big-boy race engine builds , the engine lifespan between overhauls is probably along the lines of not more than 10-20 hours of run time at the most , maybe a bit more if you’re not trying to win and can live with the power loss past that point.

I bet the O rings in that damper melt out super fast at that RPM too.

Will this fit in my Honda?

I like how it makes the camera vibrate from at least ten feet away

Correct... they can’t rev. While that motor hits 9000rpm, a Formula 1 engine engines top out to a restricted 15,000 rpm... but probably can do 18,000 rpm or more if there was no restriction.

This motor is also limited to 9500

Well it will probably last more than 1k miles between rebuilds

1) F1 engines aren’t exactly production based.
2) A properly set up SBC (noted production engine) can hit north of 13k rpm.
