the A+ ones are actually pretty sturdy, I have heard of them being taken to over 9k.
My balls would run out long before that though!
I'd say if you are going to go over 7500 much then go for ARPs

Mint. 7k is all it will go upto. It's only being built as a temp engine so didn't really want to spend out on some ARP's

You are mental if you use standard rod bolts at 9krpm. Failure of the bolt is not instantanious, but when they do, it is catastrophic. For the sake of saving £80 against the total loss of a £4k+ 9krpm engine >>>>>Ticking bomb I would say.
