Re: beaterX project thread

Nope, BBX I can shift at 6500 and the car is still plenty fun/fast. Half of the fun of having a super wide powerband though is just cranking on it and reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvving it out faster faster faster woaaaaahooo! So yea I get what you mean revving higher.

The one thing I really want to work on the next time I go to the drag track is revving first gear higher. I think I could have picked up another tenth and with the extra power now it'll take some getting used to, but I have the valvetrain to do it now so why not. Also I was always scared to rev it too high for autoX but with the low gearing of the X I was sometimes hunting for which gear to be in; I think having a setup made to rev higher will make decisions like that easier, not to mention having more down-low torque thanks to the cams!
