OP, keep your redline and power goal sensible, your tune spot-on, and you should be ok.
BTW, what happened to the straight LS project?

I used to be a firm believer in the "rod bolt" theory, but after experiencing builds and seeing it first hand for myself, I think its just a myth, IMO.

a1320honda i think is his name is/was going to 8800 on a stock b18b bottom end with a dohc vtec head that has some upgrades. think he was around 350whp. one of my favorite setups.
im going stock bottom end on my ls vtec build and im shooting for 8k rpm, 300+whp.

I know first hand that you will be fine at 8200 rpms on a lsvtec setup I have ran a few setups. I was dd @ 320whp on 93 octane with a revhard kit all I had was arp head studs.
