The reving to 9k is to do with the valvetrain components - you could rev to 9k on a 16v vts engine, but would need a lot spending on the engine so it was safe reving this high.

Remember though that parts will wear quicker at the higher rpms.
yeah i got the bit bout the power and cruze cam lol. i could do but the valves dancing on the bonnet seems a nice idea lol. naa if i did get a 16v engine id slowley mod it up. is yours still only running at 7.5k or you moved it??
