Bandit - no reason to do 6500 RPM? How bout the fact that these cars will burn through that 5800 RPM at 142 MPH in right around 10 flat if set up properly and that 700 RPM will get you to 170 MPH?. Shoot, if I can't hit 6500 RPM my kids will be passing me on the straight a way in that 944 Turbo! :-). All kidding aside, I was surprised the other day when I calculated how much top end came off as I dropped the max RPM down from 6750 to the 5000 range. 125 vs 165 or so. So this is a bit of a real issue.
