If your dead set on spinning to 8K you might want to invest in a Spintron setup to see what the valve trains items are going to do with your cam,springs are going to do at that rpm.
Fucking hell i just wrote like 6 paragraphs trying to explain my fixation with RPM, and how i believe its possible to achieve a 305/210 CFM 3v port. But it shitout or something when i went to post it.
My pimps pushing hard for me to move to FR500 heads but with cost and complexity i cant cant justify it. If my rods/pistons ever find a way to escape, ill cash out my 401K, start selling crack and build a 5.8 stroker. Some dudes build cars to enjoy them.... thats cool, but mines going to be a purpose built racecar, the goal is winning. This is just my first big build, and im not going to be a pussy about it.
I'll be in the test cell with my buddy from work next week for his big block. I'll pass along the recommended part numbers and specs to the builder, thanks guys.

I wonder if cryogenicly treating any valve train components will aid in longevity and is it a matter off poor geometry preventing sustainable high RPM? Further how much will the jesel set up run me?
Spintron, sounds expensive, ill definitely look into this. We have a wicked nice vibration analyzer at work, i will be using this to a get baseline reading for comparison

This is suppose to be for a purposes built race car. Now what kind? drag, road coarse? What is the time frame that engine is going to run at 8K? What do you think your maintenance intervals between rebuilds? Drag racing will be less destructive on it then a road coarse in my oppinion. Have you thought of how your getting SOME of that power to the ground?
airstrip mile events, road course racing will be event's i plan to attend. But street racing/no prep grudge will be hunting grounds. I'd be happy if i got 500 hours out of the bearings. Ideally the engine will only see 8K at the top of every gear and the 1320ft mark. Its not like im going to hang it out to dry.
And yes to getting the power to the ground. I've spoken to BMR a few times And purchesed many of their items. Excluding springs, i bought the cobra jet drag springs, and i bought someone's else's sway bar end links that fit my larger Roush sway bar, rear strut tower brace and x brace was from steeda, i put an 8 point cage in the car but i just bought a 12 point convertion. BMR LCAs, UCA's, relocation brackets(not sure ill need them but have them) and sub frame connecters lastly i run their solid motor mounts. GT500 front mounts, Roush front springs, A Arm connector ... 295 Hoosier A7 slicks in front, Then either hoosier 335 or 365's DR2's in the back(id have to go take a look i cant remember) billet spacers.... im probably missing shit, Anyways from what BMR was saying it should be good for 1.1-1.3 60ft times. I'll likely be converting over to a full tube front end but i haven't bought any of it yet other than a bumper delete. Its completely gutted, full weight reduction excluding lex windows, wimdow motors and i haven't gone crazy with the gun drilling yet but i did buy an industrial size carbon fiber panel making kit, hoping to replace all the non load bearing sheet metal, mabe the transmission tunnel. The boost will be progressive. My secret hook sauce recipe.... it'll get down and boogie
What about a hayabusa - they rev over 8000, pretty fast in the mile. Can get one with a turbo already on it for $6000 or so. Would run for more than a few blocks.
FORTY BUCKS!!?
