[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 166197, member: 597"] I'm with you Bill........everyone thinks that with a big engine it will keep pulling forever. Simply not the case, you will bog it down. It actually takes a certain amount of power to achieve so much speed........better off letting the engine pull more revs, this will give you much better drive out of a corner........If you were to over rev it down a straight, it's most likely only for a couple of seconds which should do no harm to a well built engine. My single racer is still a bit over geared for the track we use here.......because it is so torquey, it seems unnecessary to rev it to the redline 7000 (7200) on the limiter.......It does it no problem on the dyno........But on the track I shift way before that........Its a work in progress.......Cheers.
