Ya, agreed. If they were shooting for 600HP, they would need to go that high, but I doubt they are so it will probably be much lower.Raven wrote:Also, I don't believe 10,000 rpms for one minute. We'll get 8, maybe...

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Nah, more rpms is cost prohibitive. It's far easier and cheaper to just go bigger to meet your power requirement when you're the one designing the engine.Sabre wrote:Ya, agreed. If they were shooting for 600HP, they would need to go that high, but I doubt they are so it will probably be much lower.
