Hi MB Doc,

So you think I should be safe to set the rev limit to 6700rpm? I would probably only ever take it to around 6500 or so but I would like the headroom.
Currently the rev limit gets in the way, my peak torque is from 3000rpm to rev limit (pretty much flat) and my peak power is from 5500rpm to rev limit. Increasing the rev limit will allow me to stay in the power band longer as there is obviously more there. It will also allow me to still be in the power band after a gear change.

I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to get anywhere near instant destruction of the engine at that sort of rpm.

Thanks for the reply,

Blair

P.S. If you are interested you can check out my car at the hompage listed in my profile.
