How often does he tear down the motor? When you cross the line from daily driver (perhaps a 10 sec car) into these beastly ranges then I'm sure a lot of things are done differently.

I think You mean Ferrea noob. lulz

Good luck with the new setup though, the head upgrades should help the revving issue. I'm thinking of going with the FP Beehives in my car, Shane had said the Kiggly beehives might be a bit too stiff of a spring for my setup.
