appreciate it, once again sorry to jack your thread.. just don;t feel like makin my own
I don't think rods are neccessary unless you plan to run nitrous.
port and polish would be a good idea if you can afford the $$$ to do it right, plan on at least $1,000 w/ valve job from a reputable person like DFE or RM
M22's are good, I like mine and my power doesn't peak until 9300 rpm which I think has been helped out by the omnipower flat face valves which also give you a .3 bump in CR
Rocket motorsports valvetrain(springs, retainers) are excellent and will withstand all the revs you can throw at them.
My engine has acl bearings but I don't know that you would have to although it would be a good idea.
The only other thing I would do would be to get an ANR or RMF or Sparks header. If it came down to doing a p and p or getting a top notch header first I would get the header IMO.
Also plan to upgrade fuel injectors and pump
I don't know what gen engine/car you are running but a chipped p28 or Hondata would be a good idea w/ that setup.
