Since you poked fun at Honda's, it is now my turn to poke fun at you.... Ok, no offense, but your car is slow.... Reving it that high will only make it slower, for the simple fact that your cams will NOT make power that high.... Stick to the stock revs, and youll be fine... I guarantee you if you were to dyno your car to see where the torque starts to fall off then take that number and set it as your shift point, you would succesfully stay in your torque band longer and get significantly better times... Why rev to 10k just cuz you can, while your car is falling on its face around 7k and you are wasting precious fractions of seconds... just food for thought

By the way, the highest I have taken my motor is to its 7400 rpm rev limiter where it falls on its face, and i normally shift at 6800-7000 because thats about where my powerband starts to drop with these cams.....
