The way I see it, if I want an engine that revs (but behaves at low revs as well) I need to start with a smallish engine, use good (light, balanced) gear for the rotating bits, and not go 'I need more power/more cubes'.
But I'm definitely not the expert here, so tell me where I'm going wrong in my thinking.

A stock K code 289 was rated for peak horsepower at 6000 rpm. Why shift at 7000? As I mentioned earlier, an engine with a lower peak will have better manners down low and more power available down low.
All of this makes a huge difference.
BTW Z, I was just offering that question up for thought in general, I wasn't directing it at you. |
