im in the process of sourcing the rest of the parts i need to complete building my b18c1 to handle more boost. iam going to be using forged rods and pistons with arp rod bolts in my setup. i would like to be able to rev the car to around 9,000 rpm after iam finished. my question is should i have to change out my valvetrain to do this with the stock set of cams?

 

just wondering why if im not changing the cam size i know that the rpm will have an effect but why exactly will it casue the valves to not work right?

 

i was thinking the same thing about float i just wasnt sure if the valvetrain could support some extra rpms i know its probably out of the cams efficency but with it being boosted it still feels like it wants to pull past 8200 right now. i was thinking maybe most people didnt do it because of weak rod bolts.

 

run that ---- till it breaks, then you will know

 

I would just keep the rev limiter where it's at, no use in spending that much more $$$ for 800 extra rpm.

 

lol coming from a guy named toda ..haha

 

hate hate hate... jk but i was still wondering if anyone has done this
