ive spent about 15000 casue the first time she ran on the dyno she sorta died lol i lost comp in a couple of cylinders and the valve springs packed it in so i had to do like a minor rebuild and get a set of triple valve springs to get it to last

6500 is plenty. after that there isnt much you can do to reduce the harmonics and stop it becoming a grenade.

yeah the engine has had the whole bottom end fully balanced within 1 gram so that should help but still wont stop her from letting go at the high end of the rev range
