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  |
It all really depends on if the engine will make more power at that point. Honda engines are notorious for being able to push power past the stock redline. I had a boosted EP3 before this car so I know a good amount of the potential that K-series engines have.
Depending on the engine design some cars such as the older Audi/Volkswagen engines begin to see a drop in power production at higher rpms.
From the looks on dynos so far, power seems to plateau all the way to redline. The only we'll find out if someone is willing to push their stock block.
