shifting past 6500rpm

DeMello · May 1st, 2008, 09:47 PM

what mods need to be done to allow your car to be shifted at higher rpms...i see dynos every now and then where it produces the most rwhp at like 7000rpm

im guessing u need a better engine and trans...

so if i get all my internals forged what would i be shifting at?

HMUSN · May 1st, 2008, 10:02 PM

the same as you are now.

you need head/cam work to up your rpms

HBK_2007 · May 1st, 2008, 10:04 PM

you dont need to turn 7000 rpm's to make power.

Your right, but... more rpm = the potential to make more power.

i would think a big cam..than a tune can raise your rev limiter....not too sure though

Everything in the engine needs to be well-built and well-clearanced for higher RPM limit. Stronger valve springs, stronger spring retainers, a cam that will go above your desired RPM (in case of a missed shift), a good harmonic balancer and balanced crank, fuel system to dump a gallon of gas in a single TDC to TDC rotation...

I could go on all day. The last part isn't necessarily needed, but would be helpful- your engine sucks down a lot more gas with the higher the RPM goes.

Right. A great balance is key too. Having more that 2V/ cylinder helps a lot too. You will also need to be able to flow more air so heads and cams are also needed.
