why would u want to rev it higher w/ out any internal mods?
w/ a chipped p28 u could rev up to 9500 rpms, but u better be ready to pick up your rods on the road
yes indeed that motor has one of the worse rod/stroke ratios in the honda family.

I agree on that. You also can get some valve float if you rev it too high. Get internals before you start doing that. If you don't you will regret not doing it.

They are limited for a reason.. That's incredible stress on the engine to exceed redline on stock internals. I don't see a need to push over 7k, the most my old Z6 would go was 7500rpm before you run into problems. I did misshift one day and tached out at around 8500, turned the engine off after an idle period, she never kicked over again. My advice, stick with factory redline and don't go past it.

Whats the point of going past 7k anyways, its not gonna make you go faster if the motor blows anyways.....

you loose power after 7200 on a stock motor, why rev higher?
