7000 RPM
I just bought race cams for my D46 heads and all the accessories (springs retainers and the like) and the cams have a 2500-7000 rpm range. is everything ok to spin the motor to 7000 rpm. i know i need a tune to reset the rev limiter but is that all?

RE: 7000 RPM
Should be, I know people with stock bottom ends spinning to 7000 RPMs. With boost, or under serious load it might be a different story (like top of 5th gear because of wind). I'd prefer to know that the bottom end is perfectly balanced as well and I'd use really good oil, perhaps with an aftermarket oil cooler.
