Default Help! 97 4cyl Accord Going On Long Road Trip.

Hey everyone, new member here. Im leaving tomorrow to go on a road trip from Kentucky to Oregon. I expect that on parts of my trip Im gonna drive on freeways with absolutely no police or even a speed limit. So, Im wondering what the highest RPM I can consistently run my car at that wont cause any problems. It has 98k on it and I just had the timing belts replaced and the car serviced. Thanks for the help!

Alex

haha well to tell the truth, it's super stock and tops out at about 102mph/4000rpm. Going 80 it's at about 3250 and 90 it gets up to around 3500-3700 rpm. I just don't know what's gonna be unhealthy for the car.
