Congrats. You just can't beat the 2nd cam IMHO, although lots don't like the kick it gives (I can see why if you were cornering on the limit etc. but most of us won't be).

Depends on the gear you're in (I'm never really watching the rev counter, apart from when getting near 8000), 6200 or thereabouts.

Excellent work, that's a great great car biggrin

The second cam...it's the same point it changes in every gear, I think it's 6200rpm something like that.

Anyway, put your foot down and keep it down. Keep it down. Still keep it there. You won't hurt the car, the most you'll do is hit the rev limiter.

And that second cam is the place to keep the engine when you're hooning.

Get some pictures up biggrinbiggrinbiggrin
