I was under the impression that one didn't get any gains from titanium springs and that they would best be used only on a motor reaching high RPMs as a way of increasing internal fortitude and avoiding catastophe.

Question is...... Is there any thing after the redline thats worth getting to? That is determined by your torque curve. For a mostly stock engine, No. If you have signifigantly altered your torque curve then possibly.

Remember MORE RPM does not nessiarly equal more acceleration.

1. wrong, the majority of aftermarket companies do custom work, JE makes MY PISTONS, CROWER makes MY RODS, CROWER will also do a complete head build, so will skunk2
2. what ECU is going to let u go past the current redline, none yet, so it wouldnt raise u any
