High revs will yield power so long as the engine is breathing ok, another reason to rev higher than the powerband is so that you land closer to it when you change gear.



But Crass is right, if you're not racing all you're doing is shortening your engines life.

exactly, most people asking about this kind of stuff are not doing anything more than street racing

My "built" engine is supposdly safe to 10k, but I dont have a scatter sheild for the clutch, my stock ecu cant handle it....... However I do take mine up to 8k alot, of coure it has porting, the mani's are port matched, and everything flows very nice. My power does not drop off though.

the s5 n/a rx7's had lighter rotors the vdi, a generally better flowing manifold design(all mentioned above) and ALSO a better balanced flywheel made to handle the higher rpm's.
