powerband of 8000-10,000
vs.
powerband of 4000-6000

Why would one be better than the other?

I am sure someone else can answer this question alot better than I, but here i go!

When you have more revs to play with, you can have a higher top speed. If your horesepower is higher up in the powerband, you can conserve gas by keeping the revs low around town (but this obviously isn't relivent in this forum). Well that is all i can think of right now. Let me think about it a little more!
