We still have several things left that I want to do, ie: better header, TB, Password CF intake, and some headwork. I think one of the best investments I made on my car was buying the omnipower flat face valves. I really think that put my build up there where I wanted it. Let me know if you want to check out SRZ's handiwork on my car. I've got to tell you to be prepared for Murphy's law before you start an engine build. We had several mishaps with getting the wrong parts, shit being back ordered, adding some things that I wanted to do after we had gotten started. Have patience be prepared to spend the money to do it right and not cut corners. I have been extremely pleased with the guys at SRZ and the quality of their work and also the way they have treated me. Mike's always available if you have any questions or concerns, and they will go out of their way should any problems arise. Now if he'll only get me my damn catch can and RM spark plugs! lol. BTW, Mike I got my axle in and pulleys on. A/C is so fucking nice bitch!
LOL, glad that was the only problem, your making too much power i need to speak with you an get your car back in here to tune it. il PM you in a few.

To the guy that started this thread, what you have heard is false. Oil squirters and the girdle are overrated. You do not need them, in fact, im running a fully built LSVTEC with no girdle and no squirters to 10,000 rpms.
A STOCK LS block cannot handle 8200rpms , that is true. but if youare building it, then run ARP rod bolts, those are the weak links in Honda LS RODS. if you change those out, and cryo treat the, , you can handle 8500-9000 rpms.

Also, if the motor is balanced and blueprinted, then you can handle high revs
