What parts make a car's naturally aspirated gasoline engine rev quicker?
I remember when I had an '87 Mustang with the 5.0LV-8 engine and it rev'd (up and down) quickly when it tapped the gas peddle. But I've had 4-cylinder cars that did not rev nearly as quick. At first I thought it had to do with how much power the engine had, but I've had a '04 Maxima with 265 hp (65 more hp than the Mustang -side note: the '87 was originally rated at 225 hp, but later calculations confirmed that it only had 200 hp) and although it accellerated as fast, the engine did not rev nearly as fast when you tapped on the gas.
So, if I had a stock engine that didn't rev that fast, what aftermarket high-performance parts would I need to get to make the engine rev faster? A rocker cam? Light weight lifters? Light weight crankshaft?
