This is a silly statement. Was it necessary for me to port the head either? No, but it's better. Was it necessary for me to put an EFR on it? No, I could have spent half the money and gone with a Garrett like most people but the EFR is better.

I'm not in this for necessary, I'm in this for performance. So when I can get better valve springs for a measly $80 and guarantee I'm not going to have valve float, I'm gonna do it.

Personally, I'd feel safe taking a stock P11 to 7.5-8k, a stock P12 to 8-8.5k and either with springs to 9k+. I'll be setting my rev limiter to 9k, so I want that extra safety.
