stock bottom end specs question

does any one know the limitation of the stock bottom end? ie power and rpm.

Also, if I go with a set of new heads with 2.08 intake valves, what "size" cam am I limited to before I have piston to valve clearance issues?

Do a search, but the stock rob bolts dont like more than 6700 RPM's for long.

As far as PtV clearance goes, it depend on the CC size and headgasket thickness.

With a 2.055 on "cleaned" .005 heads, a low to mid 230 range cam (depending on LSA/ICL)
