Of course I will mention the obvious - run smaller stem (titanium) valves, with titanium retainers, a rev kit and smaller OD pushrods.
This is the diet package for dependibility and high RPM's.

I respectfully disagree about the pushrods.
I don't care if I give up some weight... big pushrods help more than they could hurt...and the weight of the pushrod isn't really a factor since it isn't controlled by the spring...not directly.
X2 with Tod. Sometimes there is good weight.

Hey, no offence taken, I enjoy the conversations.
I perfer to leave the big old 7/16 pushrods on the bench and get Manton 3/8 x .083 wall. Even with upper end restricters, the oil will become moving weight. But then I'm not running 1"+ lift, 1,000 open pressure springs and 10,000rpm!
