Default What determines how high I can SAFELY rev my engine?
I am installing a custom grind 228/228 .570/.570 115 LSA w/ Patriot Dual Springs. What determines how much higher in the RPM range I'm allowed to get?

If you've got new springs and pushrods then I'd say connecting rod bolts come next.

Okay, Maybe I worded this question wrong. When a new cam is installed, the higher your RPMs can get w/o breaking stuff. W/ the above cam, what would you suspect I could raise my redline to?

My car's never been dynoed. That's the powerband that TSP claims on their website. http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...d=167&catid=44

I chuckled when I heard that because the band I have right now is about a 4400 to about 5400. I was glad to hear that actually considering our cams are similar.
