Brain, ther is SO much that goes into building a motor that there is no
one thing that will make it a reving monster. Besides that, why is the
goal to build a 9K motor? You wouldn't be Honda Jonsing, would you???
Would ya? Brain?? Careful man, people on this list will make fun of you
and make you sell your car. It could happen.

The formula to making power SHOULD also move the RPM band up quite a bit:
Quality P&P head
big cams (you know, the really expensive kind.)
free flowing exhaust
free flowing intake
balanced bottom end


That's the ticket right there. All the persnickety details (Which your
not interested in) are what will make it a monster or a dog. Just depends
on STUFF.
