5 1/2k revs in vtr mk2 98bhp i believe, me in my vtr 90bhp feeling around 5k nothing much after that!

get out there and floor it! feel the torque!

[jimbo06]

is your vtr cammed mate?
if its standard/just got the usual breathing mods - full system, manifold, induction kit, i would say about the 5500k-5600k mark.

[vtcarl]

i would agree with the above. nothing more than 5.5k revs.

[BenSilverSaxo]

Standard engine, so we are looking at 5.5k then?

[vtcarl]
