What's the rev limit, and how often do you need to adjust, do you use shims?

Default The questions is

is the $3000 investment worth the 500-1000 rpm gain while no one has even shown making peak hp on these cars past 7500. The peolpe that I have talked to that went with a solid lifter setup said that it was a waste of money and time since there was nothing to gain from it.

Default 9k-10k RPM redline... not worth it??

i always wondered if the rest of the drivetrain would handle those RPMS
