I get shut down at 7100. Stupid fuel cut off!
But than again I have a stock engine. So thats probably a good thing.

LS blocks dont have an oil line running into the block that gsr's and type r's have so that is why reving SAFELY is limited... for example when ppl build LS/VTEC an extra oil line is put in.

??? no, the extra oil line added is for vtec, not to rev higher
Im assuming that your getting the 62402T's so i would say 7500

About the only thing you can do in the bottom end to help rev's would be adding an aftermarket girdle... The crank is solid.

WIth some ARP rod bolts, the B18B can take one hell of a beating. 7500 with no problem with ARP rod bolts and a better valvetrain. I would think twice about going to 8k, though.

honda cranks are overkill. get some good rods and a girdle and you will be set.

Do NOT forget ARP rod bolts. I wouldnt even worry about upraged rods unless your going higher than 7,600 or so, or your doing forced induction. Otherwise, just have then shotpeened and balanced (cheap!)
