b18c1 - when do they stop making power?
say you have the capability to rev to 10K rpm.
when does the engine make its peak power? is it dependant on cams used?
for an example, i just dont quite understand why someone would need to rev to 10K when say power stops being made at oh.... 8.5- 9K
will they really make power at that high of rpm?

When I dyno'd my b18c type R , you can see the power start to drop around 8300, not exactly sure, but definitely below redline, even though it was taken up to 9k on the dyno.

The oh-baby-oh B18C1 makes power to 21,000,232 RPM.
Aw man.. I gotta to half-*** an answer sometimes.
It makes peak power a little before redline. You can find some stock GSR dyno graphs floating around that can pinpoint that power peak for ya.
And power peak is probably influenced the most by cams. You won't make power past 8100 with stock cams. Other factors also influence where the power peaks as well, such as intake tube length/diameter, intake manifold/runner design, any head work, exhaust manifold design, and so on.
