Increasing the Rev

[njoni007]

Ok, so I have been wondering if increasing the RPM to 7500 RPM after installing the ESS TS2+ (with the new cams of course) would be a good idea.

I have ran a compression test on my car and it is dead on.

Any ideas?

In order to increase the redline beyond the standard 7000, you should upgrade the valvetrain such as valvesprings/retainers/lifters and other engine internals.

Running the twin screw supercharger or special cams does not warrant a higher redline

7000 is the limit on stock valvetrain. TS3 is a "cheaper" solution for you :)

^Why is a TS3 "cheaper" for him?

I am not considering TS3 at all, not now nor later, unless my car really needed a rebuild (i.e. cracked pistons, bad oil/comp rings etc.)

TS2+ will be the last piece...especially the ESS camshaft is what I want. I just thought I would increase the rev to at least 7K RPM when I do this, but would be interested to upgrade something that will enable me to go higher RPM...

I do think that timing chain may be the one that will not like over 7K RPM. The previous responder who said the springs/valve train upgrade is also another possible area that is critical when RPM is high. I do not believe pistons play any big role in this in terms of quality/strength, including the connecting rods.
