Sun, 09 November 2003 10:39 rev until the engine stops making power?? ahhh, so if i push nos through my 5me, and its still making power at 9000rpm, this is ok???? redline is based on the mechanical and harmonic tolerances of the engine, not on its power characteristics. if i wanted to, i could fiddle the cam timing on my 7m to make 15hp extra at 200rpm past present redline, but i chose not to... why? cause the engine cant take it! piston velocities go through the roof, rod and crank forces the same, valves start to float etc etc redline is what the manufcturer says, not what you 'think' ... unless you have a damn good resaon based on modifications to bottom end and valve train...
