#14172, "RE: ATTN: Howell Automotive you are about to be taken hostage!" In response to In response to 7
I would HIGHLY advice against going over the stock redline on our engines and transmission UNLESS you have built transmission and complete drivetrain built for it (i.e. balanced bottom end, etc etc). Look at me, i completely EXPLODED the stock clutch/flywheel from launching at the track at such high rpm (around 5-6k). Keep on doing that, you'll be sure to find yourself with a blown transmission...
my .002 cents.
I'm more interested in having an ECU that has the capability of modified fuel/ignition map, egr code removal, etc than having the 7k redline removed. I mean, come on, if you are not making power by then, why do you think you are going to make power over 7k? (unless you are spending some MAJOR $$$ doing development of head flow/etc to make power in the 7k range, redoing your WHOLE drivetrain to handle over 7k rpm levels, etc. Most of us here probably will NEVER spend that amount of cash to get there).
again, my .02 cents, flame at me if you will...
