bottom question: RPMs

[DNK006@aol.com]

My 16v freind (yes  my freinds are listed in order by the number of valves 
they have) let me drive his roc the other day.  Being an 8v driver I noticed 
that the car just wouldn't go when I gave it gas at RPMs I am used to.  So I 
took it up, and it went (damn thos e things are fast huh?).  My question is 
this:  is a 16v bottom end (rods, bearings, oil) any different that an 8v?  I 
am wondering about the redline.  On an 8v it is much lower (like where your 
16v peaks) but could an 8v handle any higher?  Not that it can go, or should 
go, any higher without some mods. 

thanks
Ben 
84 8v
