Posted 18/08/05 09:21 PM Share Posted 18/08/05 09:21 PM Regarding the tacho - We are still trying to figure that one out...Welcome mate, if you get the Edit, you can make good power up untill 6500rpm with the right valve springs, injectors and intercooler - All on stock internals.So once she is run in, don't worry to much about a bit of a rev now and then, these engines are pretty tough nuggets!

All I have owned are holdens (4 that is) and now I guess I may have seen the light!!!!. Rev Limiters are there for a reason if it was not supposed to rev that high it would be set lower. So bounch away!!!!! (cause I love the sound, well that was with the GEN111 that is, still waiting to here what T sounds like).
