I was thinking about raising my redline and I need to know what's the safest rpm that I can raise my redline to. I was thinking about getting a chip that would raise it to 10000

 

Bump 4 a answer

 

i used to rev to 8500 on my stock boosted b18c1. 9k once just for the dyno but thats it. wouldnt go 10000 without a built topend atleast...lol!

I wouldn't recommend going much (if any) higher than the stock redline. You won't be gaining any power by spinning it higher, and you'll avoid the risk of floating valves and damaging your motor.

 

12,500, but only if you get a genuine spoon ecu

exactly right. couldnt agree more. Why spin it higher if it dont make power up there. Of course saying that. I have a friend who ran his GSR engine to 9-10K daily on stock internals and with ITR cams, valvetrain, and fully ported and polished head. Of course this engine only lasted about 10K doing this b4 it went kaboom!!!! I think 8500 would be fine personally as long as u have cams/headwork to make power up there.
