Safe RPM with b16a2 stock bottom end
 

Hi,

What do yo uthink are safe rpm for stock b16a2 block?
Head is p&p, milled, with toda cams and bc valvetrain. Now I'm going to tune it with crome and am wondering how high can I set the redline. Will 9k rpm be ok?

thanks

9k is safe in my books, my b16a has been to 9k numerous times and was running strong until the day it came out of my car. Good luck!
