Increasing rev limit on the VVT
Just double checking what I've read so as to make sure I don't goof something up.
I've got a TSE shortblock (Forged rods, billet vvt oil pump, supermiata damper) coming in the next couple weeks. I have a VVT head.
With a TSE Shortblock, all I need is upgraded valve springs (Preferably the dual mass springs) to help with the VVT harmonics to be able to rev higher, correct?
I'm looking for 8k-8500 rev limit, have the head off of my current VVT engine, and have no problem putting in an order tonight to TSE or 949 for springs.

VVT is worthwhile on every application.
