9000 rpms is a bad idea on stock retainers IMO.....ESpecially if all you have done is skunk 2 springs on a basically stock b16 (assuming thats what motor you are refering to).

Don't take stock B16 springs past 8600rpm unless you want problems.

If your looking for love you came to the wrong place.

I wouldnt rev past stock rev limitor until you go to the dyno and see where you stop making power.
