14,000 rpm with a B20? I assume this is down the proverbial mine shaft in 1st gear, with all 4 spark plugs removed? ;-)

On a serious note, I regularly shift my B20E ITB race engine (essentially a blueprinted and balanced stock engine with a custom exhaust header) at 6500. The last guy that owned the car said he shifted at 7000, but I think that was a bit much. The engine seems perfectly happy to do 7k, but I only find it useful in those cases where a shift up to the next gear would be immediately followed by a downshift.
