Weakest link?
I'm wondering what the weakest link would be for a high-rev build? I was noticing that the CTS-V Racing lifters are advertised as good to 7-8k rpm which is what led me to the question.
Assuming a totally stock bottom end, would it even be worthwhile to look at valvetrain upgrades if the goal is 7k and beyond?

agree with corey, its not so much the rod bolts that let go or give, the lighter the valvetrain the higher you can rev, i floated a valve at 75-7800 rpms with my stock rockers, i shift at 7200, i reccomend REV valves theyre rather cheap and highly used, though im going with enconel/titanium, the new setup will be as light as possible, the only thing is i'll be boarderlined on the rockers, i talked to my builder and he spoke with a few companies and its been mentioned YT's will break beyond the rpms i plan on pushing, im looking into Jesels but they'll have to waite as the cost will be 1200-1500 a set
but anyway to answer your question get the valvetrain light and you can spin the motor pass 7k easy
