Have you dynoed it yet?
I recommend to set the rev limit 200rpm more than it's max power's rev, but I wouldn't rev it over 9k!

The fact that you run a 1.8 L should make you more cautious than 1.6 L in terms of high revving, plus I think your torque now is way enough so you do not need to push it a lot......High revs don't mean necessarily more power.......on the other hand your S2 S2's they just can't stop pushing until 9100 rpm. I would set it there
