Re:can i rev a stock ls to 7500k with no problem
Someone said this, its not a question of whether it will blow up, its a question of whether it makes power. All of the LS Vtecs quoted were LS VTECs and had vtec heads that made power to 8500. Stock LS cams can't be making power to 7500, so whats the point??

But wat about on an ls. the turbo kicks in even harder on higher RPMS, tires start lighting up. i plan on keeping this motor for a while. if i wanna keep it then i shouldn't go to 7500 when racing? right? i plan on building it up when i get more money.
stay at 6800 redline or go to 7500 rpm redline?

Your turbo is big enought to where it pulls all the way up to 7500... as where most people didint have a big enough one ( johnny for example)

dont u think honda would have made it rev to 7500
after all, they are the smartest car maker in the world....

Re:can i rev a stock ls to 7500k with no problem
Every turbo ls dyno I have seen (stock) has always looked about the same (already mentioned above) The power really drops on the LS's. About 5500 the power falls and the torque falls as well. So there really is no need to rape the ---- out of a LS. It's all in the head, that head is a big peice of ----, the cams/valvetrain are all weak.
Example, lets say johnny kept his exact same turbo setup, and just swapped on a Vtec head, his power band would be very smooth and probably pull all the way to 8000.
As far as spinning ls/cr vtec's to 8500.. Nothing wrong with that

Johnny had the B18A1 and the B18B1 is different. My cousin just swapped b18b cam shafts into his b18A and now it revs harder on higher rpms. his tires now light up as he accelerates higher. because bfore da turbo, my motor pulled harder on higher rpms also.
