I was wondering what the factors are on the rev limt on a motor. Meaning what parts need to be replaced in order to safely achieve a higher RPM? I am not worried about cost or practicality at this point. Just trying to get a basic understanding of how these things work. To relate it to my project, I have a 1991 N/T that has two cracked pistons and 4 shattered valves . . . My dad f***ed up the timing. 
The car was given to me for free. 
Obviously I am looking to turbo it and am going forged pistons and probably a butchered stoker crank with aluminum flywheel and rods. 
The turbo will not be purchased for a while. So right now I am looking to get as much performance as I can out of a N/T. This is where the RPM question comes in. I know lifters and valve springs have to keep up, is there anything else? Such as limitations to the coil pack?

another thing isthat no matter if you have a N/A or turbo set up, it is always a good idea to getyour car a quality tune. sorry i was off topic but i started a build in one direction but had to change and go another route because my funds didnt allow me to do it they way i imagined and planned.
