[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 16584879, member: 35549"] Did you get copies of the paperwork? I'm no engine guru, but it sounds like he was blowing a lot of smoke. Or there was some miscommunication. 700 crank horsepower would be a downgrade from stock. Think about all the guys on here making 700rwhp on a stock unopened engine. The valves don't know what boost level is going through them. Maybe he meant the springs, but if the valve train was built correctly they shouldn't need to be changed. I do remember having to swap valve springs on a buddies 2v, but that was because he was going turbo and apparently valve float is possible with the back pressure. IMO billet oil pump gears are always a good idea. Especially if the engine is already apart. Otherwise just keep the RPM's in check and don't constantly bounce off the rev limiter. [/QUOTE]
