If your motor is stock don't raise it, there's no point no power up there!

yep.

also, if you're engine is stock, your stock LS ECU should fail safe you from reving to high on your stock engine. If you want to rev higher, invest in some camshafts and an ECU upgrade to raise the powerband. Although, from experience, you don't want to rev an LS motor too too high. Those B18A/B 1.8L engines powerband dies off around 8000rpm (with cam upgrade) anyways...

About 500rpm?? Well my 91 Teg can redline about 7000rpm, but I wouldn't push it that far, so you can be the judge of how far you want to rev it, you'll be the one driving it so you determine. <U></U> http://www.intercrewautosalon.com

i think that it is okay to rev to atleast 10,500 rmps with your stock motor, youre not going to have to worry about anything unless your decide that you want to rev it past there then you should probably get an intake and maybe a clutch.
