My motor came out of a 91 teg XSI and my motor hits redline at 8200. Just cause the gauges say one thing doesnt mean sh*t. If you want to find out the redline. Get a shop manual for the motor. Make sure to get a honda shop manual too. If its really eating you inside call the honda dealership tomorrow, ask for the service department and ask them what it redlines at. I mean who would know better then them?
