Cams:ITR
Valves:ITR(valves springs retainers)

dont worry about revving high worry about where your powerband is at;)

Also wont make any sence if you want to rev high but your cams top out at lets say 8200 RPM. what kinda cams are u thinking of running?

Eagle rods with B16 pistons? not worth it, way too much to make them work. OEM uses a different Wrist Pin than aftermarket, either buy aftermarket pistons, or run sotkc rods with ARP bolts

i was thinking that too .. but didnt want to but too much pressure on the stock rods .. would they hold?
But either way .. im kinda sorta looking into boost so i may change out and use after market 10:5:1 pistons.

BTW i do have arp head studs .. and also arp rod bolts ... thanks

ive been reading alot into using LS rods, guys on H-t are running 9mm rod bolts, with shotpeened LS rods. i dont know what it cost to get them shotpeened, but seems like it is working for those LS vtec guys revvin out at around 8500 daily.
