The turbo response is excellent above 5Krpm when I mash the gas. It's not instantaneous, but it's god awful fast. I'd say that if I were to do a roll from 5Krpm in 4th gear, that by 5800rpm I've got full boost. 5th gear is stupid quick, too. I've taken the motor to 9Krpm more than a few times with no issues. I want dual valvesprings for a higher safety margin, though.

10K isn't highly likely, but 9K definitely is. I don't know that I'd really need anymore than 9K. Just need to be able to tune to 9K.

Valvesprings FTMFW. Absolutely zero float with the BC springs, so your head with dual valvesprings for the VE will give you a much better margin.
