Default how much can it handle?

so i am putting ctr cams, toda cam gears, upgrading valvetrain and plan on chipping my ecu. redline is going to be around 9k -9.5k.. by the way the engine is a b16a2. how much will the bottom end be able to hold up? what are some reconmended items to change so that it will last longer? i also plan on changing the bottom end and doing a poor mans r or ls vtec later..

lower the rev limit to 8200-8500 cause ctr cams wont make power higher than that. then you dont have to worry about the bottom end taking a **** on you.

The B16 has a pretty good rod/stroke ratio for high revving. The stock rods and crank should hold up, but if you're ballin' you might as well put some forged rods and knife-edge the crank.
