Better/stronger valve springs as well.

And this might be better off placed/asked in the Internal Engine section as well.

Same as the above post here. Stock bottom LS1 with Katech's needed 7200 to get thru the beams (and still touched the limiter set at 7200). My current project an LS2 will utilize another stock rotating assembly with good rodbolts.
