Subject: what is meant by over revving an engine? by iCorvette on 2009/9/21 2:20:19 i am not talking about sustained high rpm's just drag race type shifting. if the engine goes to that rpm (high), and does not limit itself, like a tpi car is know for wheezing at 4800 rpms, what harm? then aside from the weakest part, i do have some parts like the 2 bolt mains, the edlebrock roller timing chain and the vibraton damper in there stating those parts should not exceed 6000 rpm. should i excercise caution with these or is it a non issue? is there a safety cushion when they sell this stuff, since my stock tach is literally garbage, i have triggered the rev limiter set at 6500 once, and didn't know what it( sudden bogging)was until yesterday that the tach was too slow. what would be my super ram optimal shift points? any enlightenment on this would be great and thanks... |
