never mind, he's taking nonsense. to hit 82 in 2nd on 15" wheels he'd need an 8500ish rev limit, on 17" wheels he'd need an 8000 limit (assuming power to get there). tuned vts's dont run that high a limit.
|
he cud b talkin nonsense mate. i never actually saw it go that fast. so he could be. he's not 1 to chat shit to be fair. n he still spends daft money on cars now always making them faster. again he could b lying. i wouldnt know n he;s not got it anymore either so cant even see. my other mates have seen it have sed the same tho.
it started fukin up on him in the end he had changed and messed about with that much, so he got rid. but for the short time he had it, it was fast as fuck mate

vtr's aren't fast unless boosted, if it was sold no doubt it would've popped up on here or ssc at one point. important lesson when growing up- dont beleive everything your mates say

B&M have been taken over by another company in the states, when the take over went through the UK importers and everyone got new account handlers. Everything at B&M went completely on its head while its all been going on and the back orders just keep mounting up. Speaking to the importers there are 42 kits on back order which have not even left the states yet.
So potn might not be able to get them in unless there is enough orders placed, where as gsmotorsport have them in! or should have.

explain? raising rev limit is pointless on standard cam, plenty of point on a aftermarket cam where power is higher up the rev range. does no harm to your car although i'd make a point of changing oil more regularly but that goes for every modified engine.
