How to determine REDLINE?

Eh, only reason I left my revlimit at 8k was because I didn't feel like having a car that wasn't tuned from 8-9k RPM's so what was the point in changing it... When I get back I'll change the rev limit to 9 and that's in a car that's my only driver..

SR's like getting the piss beaten out of them.

Are you running a stock bottom end? I could see headwork allowing for a small increase (maybe to 8K), but I am surprised that with the stock stroke, you can go to 9K....as someone said, peak piston speed plays a large factor.

Glad to hear it though, after some headwork, maybe I will raise mine to 8K...with cams and a GT2871R, maybe I could use the extra 500 RPMS...I could have sworn I've seen some dynos that pull to redline.....
