New rocker arms and springs would be needed too - including on the jesus head?

The only thing better would be pneumatically operated valves
Your build should be awesome Shanne

VTEC wasnt made for RPM. It was made to have fuel economy with high hp at the same time.

Most will not even need to rev past 8k. There is no reason unless you have a BIG rotrex or a BIG turbo. RPM is a motor killer.

Just reving that high to say that you can rev that high is pointless.

If you want to have something that rev's high buy a 600cc motorcycle. You will quickly find out that high RPM means NO lower end at all.

Point was that Honda boys brag N/A at 9K rpm and just bounce them off the limiters constantly. According to them that + vtec in their eyes makes them better than anything. I have had people here tell me that Vtec > any boosted car...

Just 9k rpm + C38 = silly power

More of a way to just stick two fingers up to them - doesn't mean i'll drive round bouncing it off 10K - change gear where it will dump it back in the torque band, not to prove a point.
