the valves arent going to be the issue when revving to 9500 rpms. what you need are stiffer valve springs and retainers. i have always used oem honda valves with my applications and simply bought aftermarket springs and retainers.

to rev to 9500, you will most certainly need cams that makes power that high or it is useless. to have cams that do this, you need the compression to support them, not to mention, the proper tuning, intake manifold/ throttle body, and a good exhaust manifold.

why do you want to rev to 9500 anyway? good power means good power, regardless of if it revs that high or not. there arent a lot of all motor engines that make power that high, trust me.

im sorry i forgot to mention that im going F.I

I got a Type R cam sitting in the garage, ive read and heard their as good or even better than after market cams what do you think?
im running a 9.7 compression, intake mani/TB and headers are all good aftermarket.

as im new in the market, i leaning towards Skunk 2 products
i would love some recommends.

well, if you are going to boost the motor, i wouldnt even use aftermarket cams.

oem cams are good for turbo, regardless of if they are type-r cams or not. only in my opinion. just get some stronger springs and retainers and you will be fine. save the money for something else.

There aren't a lot of forced induction motors that make power that high either. Not to mention the additional stress of an FI setup at that engine speed.
