[QUOTE="SpookSVT, post: 3781270, member: 34120"] I don't want to rev if I don't have to. There's no sense in revving a motor that high if you don't have to, your just wearing it out and would have to replace parts regulary. The whole point to extending an engines rev limit is to either make a wider more usable powerband or make more power. You can only make more power when revving if the TQ curve can extend that far without dropping off severely. HP=TQ*RPM/5252, just do the math. SHO's and Duratecs both can do 8000RPM easy. SHO's won't make any more power by revving higher as their TQ curve drops off fast in the upper RPM range, they need cams if they want to rev higher. A Duratec w/ SVT cams on the otherhand will make more power and hold it because it holds the TQ longer into the upper RPM range. [/QUOTE]
