What did it take to have the engine rev safely to 8400? I just sold my '91 NA and I'm looking for either an MR2 turbo or a 300zx n/a.

well i would first get the engine balanced by a pro. and get it balanced to the littlest degree. then the stock valve springs dont have enough force on the valves to keep them moving at those speeds. the valves with float or not close all the way when you get to a certain rpm destroying all that compression and killing your power.
i found that supra valves will work so i got aftermarket sets of those. and get a lightned flywheel. not a nessecity but the engine will rev really fast. thats the minimum you need. i also got a 3 angle valve job and forged crank and rods but just to lower rotational weight.

How did you do against the viper, surely it wasn't stock if it kept up with you to 160.

I havent had the chance i just used that as an example. I have just recently installed an aftermarket 200 mph speedo and i dont think its accurate. can any of you tell me, besides fly past a cop, on how to tell if my speedo is correct?
