strsi strsi Post Master Jr Registered: 10/26/04 Posts: 1789 Loc: CA	i guess. my car peaks at 8800 rpms, so i run a 9200 redline. the valvetrain is built, but the block is stock. no issues at all. of course i dont slam it to 9200 everyday, that would end the block real quick. _________________________ 2000 EBP Si 181.5whp, 119wtq- All Motor B16 1994 EG Hatch 2000 BMW 328ci 207 Forever- RIP

Have it tuned and see if it makes power up there...if not you are wasting your time... Also you might want to look into an ATI or Fluidamper pulley..helps balance w/high revs... _________________________ 05 Berlina Black S2000 700whp / 500wtq Built, not bought.
