0,5mm VALVES TO RUN UP TO 10.000RPM
Will 0,5mm oversized Ferrea valves,be un-damaged when the engine turns up to 10.000rpm,instead of 1mm valves and if yes why do you think will be damaged??
There is alot that can be damaged. If you dont have the supporting mods its not even worth fixing the car every time you rev it up.
And just spend the extra money and get the head fully ported and go with the 1mm oversize values if you dont later on you will regret it.

I feel the limit of your engine speed is going to be the relative max piston speed you can safely obtain. I'm quite certain vendors have left their 2.0L built blocks for drag applications at the 9500 rpm limit for a good reason.
I'm sure a quick call to any of the drag racing gods out here would give you some idea how much engine speed you can safely run on some said rod piston combo.

Mean piston speed (ft/min) = (stroke(mm)* 2 * RPM)/(25.4*12)
88mm mean piston speed = (88mm * 2 * 10,000rpm)/(25.4*12) = 5774 feet/min
100mm mean piston speed = (100mm * 2 * 10,000rpm)/(25.4*12) = 6561 feet/min

Call Eric at AMS and just talk to him
You'll get alot better answers from someone that has done it rather than the geek like me which has seen it.

I also agree that rpm is relative to rod/piston ratio. BUT you have to have some damn decent valve springs (dual) just to help with valve float, And your going to need some very aggresive cams to even make it worth your time up there. It is possible but Its just not ideal for anything other than a drag car.

AMS isn't the only vendor that drag races though. There is probably at least 1 vendor on this planet willing to give you some advice on that area..

The only think i admit is that he has one of the most powerful evos.

I have a built and balanced 2.1 liter I guess I just don't see the benefit in it. Might I ask why you so desperatley want this number? I personally don't want to walk that close to the edge.
