What companies make a dual carb manifold that has a max rpm of 8000 or higher?

It's fopr a 454 by the way.

Rev a 454 at 8000 too much and you will have 2 227s.

454@8000

For close to those numbers, you'll be looking at a tunnel ram and nearly zero streetability. If you are looking at a race only setup, go for it. That would be a force to be reckoned with. Edelbrock, Weiand, and even Summit make tunnel ram setups. That being said, I agree with Poncho that 8000 may be a bit much for a 454.

The nice thing about a big block that is built properly, is that you don't have to rev that high. If want to build a high RPM big Chevy I would recommend a 427 over a 454.
