valve train upgrade needed for n/a cam upgrade
**mods feel free to lock this and post a link to a thread with the answer bc i couldnt find one***
question: i am installing tomei 264 cams on my 03 and was wondering do i NEED to upgrade valve train to rev to 7200rpms?
i know it would be the best case to upgrade but i dont plan on doing much more with this car since i have a ls2 that responds better to mods for the money and i got these cams for an amazing deal brand new.
thanks guys!

i use the shop i bring my GTO to, which is a lsX shop, so the vq stuff is a whole different ball park for them.
ill post dynos and vids when the goodies get in, ive been only impressed with Eli's tuning ability his first two go arounds on utec how i wish we had hp tuner, much cheaper and user friendly!
and does the revup and non revup share the same valve train?
