I'm building my LsVtec to rev to 9000, all I'm doing is arp rod bolts, shot peening the rods (after polishing them), using a girdle, and balancing the bottom end (to 9500 rpm). I believe the bottom end will hold that, and I'd feel even safer with a CrVtec revving that high (closer to square design)
Closer to square design with a CRV block? The LS and CRV blocks have the same bottom end, aside from cylinder bore. Same stroke, same rod lenth, and therefore same rod/stroke ratio. As for 9500 rpm, that's pushing it on shotpeened LS rods. My roomate takes them to 9k shotpeened, balanced, and arp bolted.
