I accidentally took mine to 8 in the rain yesterday. OOPS! A T25 will be out of its efficency at about 6500, and the oil pump gets dodgy there as well. Keep in under 7. This ain't no rotary;)

I do 8700rpm and have yet to have broken anything. If you don't have the turbo, there is no need to go past 8000rpm. the Sr shouldn't exceed 7500rpm, unless you have a replacement for the broken rocker arms. Not a whole lot of power left in the CA18 after 7700rpm, but the remainder of the redline is very useable in terms of MPH.
