sup guys i am going to get skunk2 stage 1's soon and i want to run up to 9k at least, do i need new internals and a new valvetrain or just a new valve train? also,,, i will have a skunk2 intake manifold, and cai intake

 

Yes you will need a new valvetrain to rev up to 9000 but first you might want to buy some more mods such as cam gears, fpr, a header, new cat and get to the dyno before you rev your car that high to see if your making good numbers that high up in the rpm range, dont just buy cams and rev to 9000 thinking your making good numbers off the butt dyno.

 

if it feels good, do it

 

i can rev my ferrea valve train to 9500 on my b18c with CTR Cams

 

that red paint? or clay?

 

Wow that looks sexy. couldnt help but notice though is it missing a few manifold studs?

 

red paint, yea and it is missing some studs

 

TegLover - just pick yourself up some Skunk2 Valvesprings and Retainers. You can rev to 9k just fine with that -- but youll only make power to about 9k...and there will be no need to rev above that with stage 1's.

 

Wow, how many Skunk2 stg. 1 threads are we going to have? Just do a search. Like everyone else said, pick up at least vavlesprings. But much better to have retainers.

 

Is that some special red paint? Wont it get burnt off?
And yeah it looks cool

 

Hey you not running oversized valves are you?

 

no im not running oversize valves on the intake side

 

how much would they cost? and how, where do i get them installed?

I sent my head to JG it took a month

 

i hope you have better luck than i had with JG...better off sending your head to a dump. JG

 

car runs fine
i have about 8000k miles on it and im about to pull my head off again for reseleveing

 

Revving up to 9000rpm depends on the tuning of your car. If your dyno starts to level off before 9000k then there is no point revving any higher. So I recommend doing alot of research about what it takes to run your car to 9000k.

 

yeah its called cams
