Damn, I love high-revving engines. I wonder what kind of mods it would take to move the power peak of a LS3 into the 7500-8500 rpm range? Make it sound like a NASCAR.... aren't they around 9000 rpm?

My daily driver is a Civic Si that redlines at 8300. It's like driving half a Ferrari. Makes me laugh every time I gun it.

Talked about many times. Pick a set of $3000 heads, a super strong, super light valvetrain $1000, some hella good rocker arms $1300 a built bottom end with lightweight materials $6000+

All it takes is a ton of money
