[QUOTE="JimIII@jdm, post: 14831088, member: 10902"] Every 10 sets of cams we sell I'd day 8-9 of those customers have stock engine internals. Even though you are increasing RPM redline with the cams you are also improving the engines efficiency, lowering cylinder pressure, and lowering internal temperatures. These factors help lower risk of detonation which will burn up pistons and or break rods. Torque is also a factor that breaks rods and how the cams shift the power curve your torque levels aren't too over powering for your rods at say 7,000 RPM. I would rather you increase your RPM than increase boost at risk of damaging your internals. You don't spend a whole lot of time at 7,000 RPM, your likely to shift well before that 99% of the time your driving the car. If you tried to make that power with a bigger blower or more boost and kept it at stock RPM, boost and torque comes in really fast and really hard which generates more stress on internals than anything else.
