Now, back to the regularly scheduled thread. So I could get away with just some new springs and possibly cams to run it out to 8K?

Hi GT Premi,

I don't know what all you have in your motor but depending on the power curve it may not make sense to go that high even if it were safe.Even withthe stage 3 or 4 cams andALL ofthesupersize intake tractbolt-ons I doubt there is going tobemuch reason to rev past 7,200RPM unless the power curve is still there to support it. Maybe with the new FAST intake manifold and ported heads but AFAIK at the moment 8,000RPM is not allgoing to be all that useable for an N/A motor. Now if you turbocharged it...

Change the internals and pump up the compression ratio of the block....Just buy a crate motor with forged internals
