I guess only time will tell, but how did the previous VQ handle high revs?
My superchared RSX(11 psi) has a 8200 redline, but we tuned it and ran it with a 8800 redline all day long...........and 40k boosted miles later it still has perfect compression and leakdown.....
I just love high revs and would love to be pulling 8k+ revs all day long once I get my 370  |
I have no idea about these engines in particular, but usually the conventional wisdom is that you raise the redline when you upgrade the internal engine components to handle it (stronger components, closer tolerances on lengths and weight balancing, etc). I'd be a little worried about raising it on a stock engine with no internal changes - but this is based solely on experience with american V8's.
