so unless you plan on throwing a rod..........hold off on getting the higher redline.

Its like putting an NSX seat in a Civic while ur saying it can handle like an NSX..it just doesnt happen!! Thats my opinion, sorry, i just dont believe Honda angines that were desgned for family can handle such abuse.

I have the F22 engine as well. I run it to about 6000RPM (it's a perfect point for shifting too, the engine speed drops 2K RPM and allows for a VERY smooth 1-2 shift, or - maybe that's just skill 
). I wouldn't advise running past redline without extensive modifcations.
