When your car pulls like a f*cking freight train from 2K-7K rpm, the redline becomes pretty freaking irrelevant.
Going from a 7400 rpm redline to 7K wasn’t that different and well worth the trade off for torque. I am glad I have a valvetrain built to handle more revs than 6500 though. Mine should be fine to spin to 7400 but not much point with the cam I’m running. I have the shift light set to 6850, shift at 7K and rev limiter set at 7300. I find this works out very nicely.
If you have a boosted FA20 making a bunch of power I’d get use to shifting at 7K anyway if you want your engine to last. Not sure it’s worth it to build a destroked LS revving to the moon. If that’s what you’re looking for I’d go K swap.
As far as a 1UZ swap unless you love doing fab work or just really need to stand out and be different I don’t see the point. Having one of probably only half a dozen completed LS swaps in the whole state of California already makes it feel pretty rare. Most 1UZ swaps you see were done in other parts of the world where LS stuff is harder to come by.
To me unless you are drag racing or on an unlimited budget no reason to go with any other engine aside from K swap or LS. I love that in 20 years I should still easily be able to source LS parts. There’s also plenty of crashed 86’s to get parts if need be. Aside from torque the massive availability of parts makes the LS a winner in my book.
