if they are built right, you can rev them to 8k
if they are built RIGHT, they can rev up 9-10k( bottom end wise)
it depends on the head that you use that determines where a safe cutt off is
hcp has hicg compression ls/vtec motors in stock ( ls block/ pr3 pistons/ stock rods/ b16a head)

If you get it built RIGHT they might be one of the greatest things since sliced bread. otherwise they suck and leak oil. don't spare any expense and you might as well go for the CRVTEC cause it's got 2 liters as opposed to 1.8, and with our puny cars, we need all the displacement we can get. in terms of what is better, the CRVTEC will get less horsepower as opposed to a turbo gsr but it has a better starting point, cause it has more displacement, more hp, more tq, it's a great engine...if you build it right. be careful
