This would be a tempting, albeit challenging alternative. A couple compaines are doing the conversion. Any pros or cons from the experts?

but the total cost of the build is probably a lot more than the LNE upgrade.

My power enhancements are all done to increase the usable RPM range. We make 70HP more than factory but never rev the engine higher than the peak RPM of the stock engine. All of our power is made between 2-6.5K RPM and the torque is also increased with a flat curve.
It would be easy to make an even higher HP engine that only makes HP and does so at an RPM that is un-usable. Those engines only do well on the dyno, they drive like crap and are worthless at anything less than WOT.

Do you think these engines could be made strong enough to run to 8k or 8.5k RPM reliably? The extra rev range may not be necessary, but it sure would help on the track if you could run through the revs without shifting in certain spots.
