you have to search for good prices, ebay usually has good prices on skunk2 valvetrain.

If you don't have cams that make power up to 9000 rpms, there is no reason to put unnecessary strain on the engine.

your bottom end will not handle that high, i had skunk2 stage 1 cams with stock valvetrain and there was no real need to go higher then 8k rev limit.

well i know i'll need cams.... i was just asking if the bottom end would handle 9k rev.. and yes theres no real reason too even tho with cams and upgraded valvetrain you'll be making power past stock redline... thats why i'm asking if the bottom end would be able to handle it..

yes it can.. stock gsr's should handle up to 9100k.. but there's no need to rev that high unless ur doing some serious mods.. your should rev no higher then 8800 in that car unlesss your running some serious race cams.. stage 1's would be perfect and u could rev to 9 k after u upgrade the valvetrain i'd suggest looking into rod bolts too.. other then that yes you can rev..just make sure u run synthic oil too..

yes, it will rev to 9k+. Ive personally done it and have dyno video if you'd like....given I did have JDM ITR pistons on stock gsr rods, but thats still "stock" in my opinion because stock gsr pistons wont prevent you from revving that high.

Why not just put the link to the video in the thread instead of claiming you have said video? Not trying to flame or anything, much respect, but why blue ball us? Link the video so we can all have some fun
