Stock redline. The achilles heel of the b16a is the rods and pistons. The B16A rods aren't all that strong because of the engine's good rod ratio- they don't have to be.

If you plan on running some aggressive cams from JUN, build your bottom end. They're gonna want a nice high redline (9800 or so) and high compression pistons. You're also gonna some ECU work (piggyback or otherwise) to move or remove the rev limiter, change your a/f mapping, and move your VTEC crossover point.
