I can't understand why someone would go through all that work just to make an f22 do what an f20 already does.

Is there some sort of advantage that an f22 has over an f20 when it is able to rev to 9k?

ABSOLUTELY! The F22 hasn't even reached peak HP by the time the rev limitter kicks in. Revving higher also lets you stay in the lower gear longer (even more important than the higher HP).

The pin is probably no the issue since the piston should be the same weight. A switch to billet Ti rods, short pins, and a small compression height lightweight piston should work for the bottom end.

Someone indicated the stock retainer may have an issue. If the valvetrain is an issue, some parts may need to be replaced. However, a DOHC 4-valve, even with rockers instead of direct action, should be able to handle over 9000. There are numerous BMWs (M3, M5) and Porsches (GT3) that rev in that range. or close to it.

The piston is probably the same weight, but the piston speeds and accelleration at 8900 RPMs will be significantly higher than an F20C at the same RPM. I don't recall anyone (with knowledge) expecting that the valve train would have issues with the RPMs. I wouldn't be surprised if the heads are identical for the F20 and F22.
