I used to rev my LS/VTEC to 9500 daily for about 2 years, and the new owner of the car has had zero problems with it as well.
I even had 10,500 and 11,000rpm mis-shifts. No problem.
ESPECIALLY since you're built. I was going to say the weakest point of a LS block are the rod bolts.

I remember your car from hybrid. That car was super clean. Why the change to turbo? You ever miss NA? What was the exact setup on your NA coupe?

I really miss N/A... there was nothing like it for stoplight to stoplight drag racing...
And the setup was very simple. ITR head brand new from Acura, with intake manifold. (Stock cams, valvetrain, etc...) On top of a LS block with USDM ITR pistons w/ ARP rod bolts. B16 trans, open diff. 12.80's at 106 or so... all day, everyday.
