What exactly should i upgrade in my valvetrain to be able to rev to 7k? Obviously i need camshafts that put the powerband up there but do i need to upgrade the valvesprings and to what ones? I dont wanna go any higher than that and im turbocharging my car this winter and ditching the supercharger and i wanted a higher powerband. I have access to hp tuners so changing the spark rampout and limiter is not a problem. Thanks...

Springs by ferrea should do the trick.
If you get the comp cams and the Ferrea valve train PM us we will get you the hookup.

I have heard of people running up to 7,000 RPM with stock 2.4l springs and no problems I think it might have been skillz?
I know i have been running 2.3 HO springs for the past two year with no problems they are a lil stiffer spring. + the HO springs are about $60 at napa. but you also need the retainers they where right around $40 when i last bought them.
I would think to stock springs are fine up to 7 if that's all your going for I haven't really heard of any valve float on a quad.
im going to set my rev limiter to 7k so i cant rev over that. i want a nice set of cams and springs. im going with the t3 super 60 so i dunno what cams i should get... any advise?

comp cams turbo grind games but in your case i would recommend maybe HO cams ????

7,000 rpm should be fine with stock springs. 7,600 rpm on stock springs is not recommended, take my word on this one....

Yep, what he said. I have been shifting @ 7k on occasion on the street and more often at the track. At least for my dyno @ 6psi on stock cams, my peak power was 5600 rpm's so I am going to lower mine until I change the cams
