Sun, 09 November 2003 22:49 The one scary thing about my old 4ag turbo setup was that the power curve was still rising at 8200rpm, even with those horrible stock s/c cams. I could never quite work out why either. And yes, while I say it's somewhat safe to rev your engine as hard as I do mine, it's certainly not going to extend its life a great deal... Another factor that seems to influence engines breaking is how it's driven - if you take it up to 9000rpm and then let go of the throttle in a low gear, you're definately going to put absolutely unthinkable forces on the innards - this is where many breakages occur.
