High rpm on highway safe?
I have a b20b with a gsr transmission and at 70mph, it's around 3800-4000rpm. Is this safe for the motor because they redline at 6500 i think and the transmission was made for a more high revving engine of 8k rpm. Should i keep the rpm at 3k cause Honda day is coming and the trip is 2hrs long.

You shouldn't have a problem if your engine and tranny are in good shape to start with.
I used to have a chipped ecu and hard set vtec engagement of 4400 rpm. It didn't care about load or engine speed, at 4400 rpm it would engage no matter what. And I took a 13 hour drive to florida, raced, and drove back without a problem, we tried to stay at whatever speed was about 4350 rpm, but a lot of the time we would run in that range anyway.
