What would be needed to run at 8500 RPM?
I read through the Element tuning thread but that engine was running a lot of boost at 9000 rpm.
Assuming the tune takes the raised rpm into account, is the stock engine assembly capable of handling an 8500 rpm redline? If not, what will be required to do this? What parts are susceptible to fail at this rpm? Thanks in advance everyone

Like other have said, valves & retainer will go byebye, but also if you don't get proper bearings, your engine gonna be knocking really quick.

How much can the stock valvetrain handle?

Why would you even want to rev past the stock redline, power just dies after that point |

Stock redline is 7400, so you're adding 1100rpm to get to 8500.
As was already asked, why do you want to rev that high? The stock cams (and probably intake manifold) just won't make any power up that high.

For high rpm, you typically upgrade the valve SPRING and retainer to fit the new spring. The valve itself it typically OK, but it never hurts to upgrade and freshen up the seats while you're in there. Understood. Makes sense. Got it. But in my ~17 years in the racing industry I've never heard or read anything about high rpm piston rings or their correlation to engine knock. Piston weights go down as desired rpm goes up, skirts shrink, maybe you only run 2 rings instead of 3, but as far as I know they all use the same rings, and the rings have 0 to do with knock... Can you reference or link anything I can learn from? |

FWIW Element is running to 9k with a large turbo, upgraded valvetrain (Springs/Retainers), Larger Exhaust valve, and internal oiling mods/Accusump system to keep the oil pressure good.
Lot's of info here: Element Tuning FA20 Major issues are going to be valvetrain, oil pressure, and the fact a stock engine probably isn't going make power that far out

agreed
to make power up at that point you'll need to re-tune the engine so a shorter inlet manifold and shorter exhaust primaries and cam timing adjusted to suit and then as others have said to make it mechanically live that those rpms will need a stronger valve spring at the very least and some re-working of the oil pump as the oil pressure is dropping off pretty quick by this point there's a reason why FI is so popular on this engine |

Another reason for me wanting a slightly higher rev limit is to avoid shifting to 3rd in some of the faster autocross courses, and to avoid shifting to 5th at turn 16 and the start/finish straight at PittRace.

Change the cut out to 8600 and tie a mulch bag to the rear bumper.
