You need to do the valve train if you plan on revving past 8500 rpms.

you should really upgrade your valve springs.....

This is simple all you need to do is buy the ITR intake valve springs
Your GSR intake valve springs are the same as ITR exahust valve springs
so buy moving those to the exahust side and installing the new ITR intake springs you will now have an extra protecion against valve float(which is not good).......

Good thing for you i have the ITR intake valve springs for sale BRAND NEW still in the bag.....for cheap.

Ps i just did this and trust me i feel alot better knowing that this is how Honda intended it to be

You do not need the valve retainers cuz if you search a lil more you will find out that gsr ITR and 99 si retainers are ALL THE SAME so just buy my ITR springs and be on the safe side and keep your valve train happy

I'm currently installing CTR Cams and valvesprings in my 1999 GSR motor, what would my redline be at with this setup? And do you guys know what RPM my powerband will peak at?
