[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 3780894, member: 303"] I think it you want to keep this car as you DD, then you need to come up with a different plan of attack especially seeing how your planning to keep the HP in the very upper RPM band. I also disagree with your assessment that the intake manifold is holding the car back. Its the same basic design as the SHOs and there are some mean SHOs out there. I believe what is holding back the cars power potential out side of stock, and to the degree you want is the camshafts. Greg obviously is making awesome power and he is running the stock camshafts, but he's also running lower compression than stock. Imagine if he went with the higher c/r! CAT Cams in the UK supposedly has some 2.5L / 3.0L cams, but the issue there is how to get a cam sprocket on the camshaft as I believe their cams come without any sprockets. As for revving, I believe Greg has revved to just under 8k successfully and numerously without any failures. I think that was with the SVT valve springs, I think the ST220 springs would be a bit better for revving. [/QUOTE]
