The stock redline is plenty. You won't make power far before stock redline, let alone after it.
To get a motor to reliably (and usefully) rev past the set fuel cut and rev limiter, you need to upgrade your motors internal parts -- valves, retainers, valvesprings, camshaft, pistons, rods, bearings, etc.

you will reap no benefit from chipping a stock motor, let alone rev past stock redline. if want to feel some power, do a motor swap, or turbo your existing motor.

You're not going to make any type of good power building an N/A D-series without pissing GOBS of money into that pipe-dream. Turboing and swapping are the cheapest (and most available) ways to get power out of a Civic.
It doesn't even have to be a big turbo kit. You can build a SOHC turbo setup that's reliable for less than $1000 with junkyard parts.

I'll bet, the GTX is a hog.
If you want to save gas -- don't modify your car.
Don't race it, don't drive aggressively, don't accelerate sharply, don't decelerate quickly. Basically ...
Grandma your **** around town.

you bought a civic to go NA? not on your current setup i hope. and it's easy to say you beat ls integras, but automatc ls's don't count, 1/16th of a mile don't count, and remember it's always the driver, not the car. you building you current set up to go NA you will still not keep up with a vtec b-series motor anyways.
if you want to go fast, with a reliable motor/parts, and stay at a reseaonable price. then swapping to a b-series motor or going turbo on you "d" is the best options. now if you have the money for a k-series motor, then by all means go for it.
but i wouldn't spend not a dime on NA parts for you sohc.
