It's too bad your friend doesn't have a 12A to try to rev that high. It would be fun for him to try it.

i know you have to remove the rev limiter to do it but still there not a tak around to show that high so i guess you would need some kind of special equipent at a garage to test this and a 12a you dont care about.

I would say your buddy doesnt know his *** from a hole in the ground. Yah little motorcycle motors can pull it off because they have pistons the size of oreos and very little stroke. Talk this guy into pickin up a 7 and trying it out.

Maybe free rev on an engine dyno, but I wouldn't want to be in the same county



BOOM!

I've seen a 12a in Puerto Rico hit 12500 (according to the driver, he seemed a bit deaf after the boom) then the flywheel shot out and almost cut the car in half, it was awesome.........
