The oil pump is a part of it but i can see the springs running out past 8500. You also need a minimum of an ati damper properly tuned, new rods(at least rod bolts) a full dynamic rotating assembly balancing, some form of external oil pump, jun stage2 exhaust cams, and manifolds that can actually support. That kindof flow. The guy who bought my old car would only have to put a few thousand more in to get to 9000rpm and 400+ wheel hp. He is dropping it off these week for an oil change and a few more things. Pretty sure he is slowly turning it into a track toy. I am hoping that someday somebody will give me the chance to doa couple of the builds i have planned out. A 7-800whp Supercharger kit, a standalone ecu race car vhr na build, not to mention completing my current project '74-'04 400zx. I have gone away but im not out of the game lol.

Someone on here roughly said you could get a 8 quart tank in that space, maybe a 10. So 8,500 rpm is that cap for a stock block VHR block before things start breaking? **** I give you shot of helping me build a badass NA Z. Whenever I get to the point of installing a jun cam I was going to contact you to see if there is anyway I could get you out to Florida to install the cam.
