You oughta pick up another BARE bottom end, Get a turbo kit, ITR pistons and ls rods, get the crank balanced and what not. Pick up a head, do some headwork of YOUR choice to it and piece it together and blam. You will have a nice little setup, also get a lower compression headgasket. but thats just my opinion if I had five Grand
haha. Stock LS/vtecs shouldnt rev high because of the inherently weak rods and rod bolts. Not the valves.
