Dont cast your pearls before swine . I am deffinetly seeing the meaning of this. I guess I will just drop my motor buildup becuase so many people think that it wont work. Sorry I wasted all you time . Maybe I will post in a year and tell you all how wrong I was . I will justg keep it all to myself and not hsare anything becuase everyone is right . Here is what I gather from all the negative posts.
Titanium is a waste of time . Moving the rev limit to 14,000 is a bad idea . Dsm are not supposed to have a high power curve and dont lighten the valve train .
Thanks for all the great advice .
But what is this? I cant beleive there is a spark of hope" I am going on with it ".
Come on guys lets get real and come up with some positive applications . It looks like I have all the info to build this motor , Except specific fuel requirements , what turbo to use at 14,000 Rpm and "?psi" along with cam selection and spring rate . These are things that can be plotted.

...wow...are you just trying to make a 4 wheeled motorcycle? Why would you want to do all of this, only to run 15psi? What is your fetish with a high-revving motor? You DO realize that revs do not equal high power/good times, right? Yes, in theory you could hit 60-90 in first gear, but how long would it take to get you there? 10 seconds? The ability to go faster in each gear does not equal a fast car! When will you understand this!
My bone stock tranny will do around 50 in first gear at 9k, slap a GVR4 input shaft in and you're spinning 60mph-ish at 9k. Rev it to 14k, you're going to be taking her up a lot higher than 90mph. Also, hope you have a badass clutch setup, and a whole lotta nitrous. I can't imagine the car even making enough power to propel itself in the lower rpm's with the type of cams and headwork you will require. Maybe you could race school buses or something :dunno:
