Re: B20 Vtec head (no_boost)
just in case be safe and get arp rod bolts. I am gonna do arp rod bolts, headstuds, acl bearings, etc and its only for track so i am gonna take it to 8300-8500. Completely stock b20b just be safe and dont go pass 8000. I know people have done it countless times and even more crazy then that but to me i spent alot of money for this swap and want it to be reliable. My neighbors friend on a stock b20z took it to 9500 alot and its still fine but i doubt for long it will last.

MMMAAAANNNN, you'll be just fine on the stock block to about 9000 RPM but won't make power that high up. Concern your self with the head; add valve train and 8500 all day long. However you will have to notch the pistons in that combo. As for the rest I do it all my self But i would suggest looking into The golden eagle LS/vtec kit and you should be cool. Good Luck

Why bother revving that high on a stock motor, when you stop making power at a much lower rpm? Just upshift already.
