revving to 8000rpms

[larryd]

ok I have a question for you guys.. with my new setup I will have

Crower Springs
Crower Retainers
Crower 1mm oversized SS Valves
Crower Stage 2 Cams
Crower Cam Gears

If I get a DSMlink is there anything else I should do before changing the rev limiter to 8000rpms?

That pretty much covers it. Fuel would be nice but you should have plenty of that.

550s, 3kGT pump and an AFC for now which would be replaced with a DSMlink

i cant really think of anything else.. you're running the fp28 right? will that flow to 8K?

either way, once you can spin that many rpms.. its big turbo time..

 

[larryd]

yes im running the big 28 which is being ported right now.. it holds boost till 7500 so Im assuming it will hold it to 8000.. and with the cams coming hopefully the car should still be making power up there.. if not then it may be time for something bigger

larry your ride is gonna be bad ass!! im sure all the previous worrying you were doing will all be long forgotten as soon as you get her goin' again!

 

[larryd]

thats a big if, when and if it gets running again

With a valvetrain setup like that you shouldnt have any problem revving to 9500 if you want. Well, other than the turbo not being able to keep up. Above 7500 that turbo is seeing some phenomenal shaft speeds at pretty much any boost level above 18psi.

You might want to think about a bigger turbo. JMHO

i agree actually.. i see off in the distant future a larger turbo to support my supporting mods
