Are H22 rods strong enough?

I am going the N/A rought with my Prelude. I wanted to know if the H22 rods are strong enough to take a 8,300rpm redline???

I wouldn't chance it, but if you'd like to try...

I'd say they would be all right. Not much more though. The bearings may be suspect, but find out for the rest of us. I'll know in a few months.

So I am taking these posts as a NO, do not use stock rods on your engine if your going over 8,000 rpm.
Thanks
