I've been into racing for a very long time. Out of that time, I've found that no matter the application, 2-stroke, 4-stroke, or rotary, N/A or FI, or any other platform, high RPM engines are the best sounding and most fun to build. Anyone can throw a V8 together and make power by parts selection, but making anything stay together at extreme RPM is another thing entirely. 2-strokes can be made to rev as well as rotary engines, but we're already in the 2-stroke mindset and not that many people have ideas on rotary engines. As a result, I'd like to encourage some intellectual conversation on building the 4-stroke breed.
So the point of this thread is this: what ideas or theories do any of you have for building a 4 stroke screamer? I've got my ideas, but I don't want to take the floor first.
I'd like to ask that everyone refrain from posting things like "upgrade the valvetrain and balance it" unless you have some insight that should be shared.
