John's JDM Honda K24A 818R Rebuild

Sounds like an angry bee. Does this engine have variable cam timing? I do not see a surge as I have seen on my J-V6.
What RPM are you comfortable with?

It does have variable valve timing on the intake but we did not even try to tune that yet, so it's running at 0 degrees cam advance. There will be some more power to be had there as well!

The factory redline is 7100 rpm so I'm going to stick with that. I did remove the balance shafts and install the better K20A oil pump that is rated up to 8500 rpm but since I'm using the stock valves springs I do not want to push my luck by going any higher than the factory redline.
