Isn't 5500 rpm the (normal) redline on a Chevy gasser? I had a 350 sbc that I built that I took to 7000 rpms regularly on the strip before it would float out. Got my best time on 1/8th mile track in 1st gear at 85 mph, in a street station wagon! I would let friends take it down the track and they would say they didn't know what to do. I would tell them keep the torque converter engaged with 1500-2000 rpms while holding the brake and when the tree hits the next to last light just let off the brake, hold throttle to the floor and keep in your lane! It was only one wheel drive so with it spinning it never had too short a reaction time doing it that way. Used to beat the old camaros left and right. They were "kind" to their 350s. Eventually put the engine in a 78 Chevy pickup and my son totalled the truck and I got angry and sold the engine. Didn't have trouble cleaning tires while mudding in that truck!
On topic, yesterday used my M1008 to pull a M105 up behind my M1082 and offloaded three pallets onto two pallets in the 105 up to the bows. Pulled it back to another property like it was empty. Now the 1082 can rest with only one pallet of M939 mufflers on it. Blocked up the 105.
