Well it is a Honda.

He's got some valvetrain upgrades but stock guides I think. Springs and retainers area toda or something. It's in the story.

If you build the bottom end and valvetrain properly, there's no reason you could rev it up that high normally, without any risk of damage. Your powerband would likely be quite small, but hey, it would sound like a small formula car :D
