I know this is a repost but hey ... we have new members and people do change their style of driving every now and then.. -------------------- |

its not going to ware your engine. its running it harder if you shift higher but thats it. its good to take it to redline every so often, not every day. Like when i shift i dont go pass 5500 unless i shift slow, because the idea is to stay in your power band. my car doesnt go any faster around 55.. i think max trq is 2500 an hp is around 5.. but im not sure . but like i said, as long as you stay within your power band, you will get the best acceleration. |
