Yes, having a higher revlimiter usually does mean more power and pushing a gear to a higher speed, but only on engine capable of turning that high. Crotch rocket engines can spin up to 16,000 rpms easily, but why does my Honda cut out at 6,250? Engine design. You can''t just turn up the dial. If you go turbo or n/a or something, sure I''ll recommned you get Hondata, but you have a stock car, you can''t really just get more power out of it... _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008!

I''ll have to look, but I''d expect 75 and 100 to be in there, probably a third set too, but I''ll look and update the thread. As far as raising the redline, don''t do it!  You''ve already stated that you don''t have $$$$ to spend on this project and to raise the redline safely, you have to upgrade your valve springs and retainers, minimum.  Lighter valves, new seats and guides are recommended to do at the same time and this will cost about $1500 just for the head work ....... mine''s going to wind up costing about that and I''m doing the majority of the assembly and disassembly myself. I also have a V-AFC2 for sale, but have been too lazy and busy to put a thread up for it ..... I actually think I had one at some point, but I can''t find it.  This would allow you to play with VTEC engagement and get a dyno tune. Poly engine and tranny mounts will allow you to take off harder without wheel hop.  Also, spinning the tires is much less dangerous to the car with them in place. Lastly, power launching will shave off about 0.3-0.4 seconds if done right, but if you hold the stall rpm of the torque converter too long while braking, you will heat up the tranny and could cause problems. _____________________________ 2006 Scion TC (ZPI-18G pending) 2000 V6-AT (RIP 3G) Temp Search thanks to Finch13 (in reply to game0over) Post #: 22
