Trev Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 So I went to DJR yesterday and was speaking with one of the guys there and he backed up what I said about the rev limiter and said they keep them at 7500rpm to maintain engine longevity, I take their word over yours.

Mitch-12 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 whatever trevor.... the engines are designed around the rev limit and the way they are designed will make max power between 7k 7.5k yes the engine will be better off doing 9-10k if it was designed tio do so... nascar for example. anyway selling my commodore should be gone this week and will give me some cash for the corolla. i have a fair pile of parts building up but i need $8000 for my shocks and thats what the hold up has been so once the commodore is gone i get my shocks then we are full steam ahead. i also got another racepak dash to replace my old one.

Doogs Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Considered using Shockworks gear? You could get a tailor made setup for a fraction of the price you're suggesting.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
