Default question on heads

Is there a head that i can get off of another stock engine that would give me a little more rpm's? I figure if I can find a set I can just tune it in when I do the turbo install.

A head that can give you more rpm?

I'm going to go with "no" for 500....

why do you want more RPM range? you can raise the limiter with an SCT, but your doing nothing but burning fuel and not making power

Yeah I feel like even at 5,300 my rev limiter might be a little high. Might bring it down to 5,1000 or 5,000. That one of the reasons I wanted to throw it on the dyno.

I would have to agree, anymore than 5k is a waste, the torque curve has dropped DRAMATICALLY.
