what exactly needs to be done to allow for higher revs? in addition to getting a cam with a larger lobe profile, and getting better valve springs to avoid valve float, what needs to be done to our motors?

 

Certainly at least connecting rods and pins on the bottom end will be necessary.

 

you just dont!

 

wrong, here is what im doing: rods, pistons, 19 row oil cooler and at least a stock rebuild of the head with the exception of using stonger spring retainers, and ofcourse a ecu or a reprogram of the fuel map, i would bring mine to no more than 7600

 

or you can just not take it high .. believe or not but hitting redline doesn't give you more power all the time

 

i think you misunderstood, by increasing the rpm range of the motor and tuning the fuel map accordingly () more power is to be seen, it is just a different state of tune

 

white EG is exactly right, you have to get the car dynoed and tuned properly to make that REV range a good idea, your torque is going to drop substanially it that rpm
you might be able to rev to 7500 but when you shift gears are you going to be shifting beyond the peak power range of the next gear making it less effective?
the higher the gear the lower the rpm's i shift at

 

not really you have to change the fuel map and free areas of flow up to make more power and not lose that torque up top, a good cam would do that, but i think some more can be seen from the stock cam IMO

 

yeah i din't mean to sound like it cannot be done, but there is some precision mechanics involved in getting it done right so you don't lose that high end torque

 

yeah yeah homes MUAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHA, PUAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAA
MUAHAPUAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHH AHAHAH
