yeah, as far as the bottom end goes. but it wouldn't be safe for a stock valvetrain.

It should be save, but while you have to motor apart you might as well replace the rods with something stronger i.e. Eaglel, or Crower rods with your arp rod bolts..... I like to be extra careful but thats only my opinion...... good luck
You need some head work to make it rev that high....

are you changing your valvetrain?
are you adding the gsr girdle?
are you placing a block guard?
are you upgrading your fuel pump?
are you upgrading your injectors?
are you upgrading your fuel management?
some things you should think about......

Pistons? Sleeves? Go with the Eagle Rods (do it right the first time)

even if it revs that high, if u have stock cams im pretty sure it will be pointless. it will cause unneccessary stress because it wont make power that high
