cool man, i was hoping you guys didn't rush through it. the thing i was telling you about was the rod bolts. apparently the ls rod bolts are really weak, and become the weakest link of an lsvtec during higher revs. all the research i did when i was building mine, said that upgrading rod bolts are a must when building an lsvtec. if you're already done with everything, keeping around the stock ls redline is probably a good idea. if you want to stretch it to take advantage of that vtec in the future, definitly do some beefier rod bolts.
