Torque is bottom end power and as you accelerate it drops as the bhp increases.

okay then Considering all of yous are "Citroen Saxo Tuning Engineers" if the limiter of a vtr was at 3k rpm it wouldnt be 100bhp, it would be less, alot less,
backing off the limiter runs the engine closer to niping up as most internal botom end mods do but acheiving more bhp as the engines having to work harder for instance 1500 rpm harder, and before someone says its not a bottom end mod... well it makes the bottom end work alot harder

and as for acheiving the beast bhp before its peak point thats most likely down to your engine air fuel mix if its backing of power before maximum revs then its geting to much (probably down to a stupid airfilter) and you would need to lean it off as the engine will be runing to ritch.

And by the way you had better tell all the folk that race saxo 1600s to put there limiters back on there cars, afterall some random says it dnt make a diff :|

so before you go shouting ur mouths of how bout u actualy know what ur talkin bout instead of all leaving coments like sheep

Depends purely on the engine itself. They don't go on producing power forever in the RPM range.

Let me make this easy for you.

INCREASING THE REV LIMIT WILL NOT GIVE YOU MORE POWER IF THE CAM PROFILE IS MAKING PEAK POWER BELOW THE LIMIT ALLREADY

changing the MAP itself is totally different to just increasing the rev limiter, would you like to show me where the 'rpm' is on those graphs?

Notice that they BOTH tail off? or is that missed by you?

Purpose

The rev limiter on a car is there to prevent over-reving, which will destroy the engine. Most gasoline cars designed for street use have a limiter somewhere around 6000-7000 RPM. In some cases, being able to rev the engine higher will yield slightly better performance, often at the cost of more engine wear.

When to remove the rev limiter
You should only worry about raising the rev limiter once you've done substantial work to the engine. My personal advice would be to have at least the full exhaust upgraded (including the exhaust manifold and downpipe), a sport camshaft and some way to get more fuel to the engine.
Once you install a sport camshaft you will want to raise the rev limiter so you can use the power the camshaft makes above 6000 RPM

found tht

please explain why cars have peak power / torque which is lower than the rev limiter...

you google searching scrub

so you tune engines yet copy and paste from google?

As we keep saying, if the cam profile is making peak rpm at say 5.5k what good is an 8k limit and how is the car going to gain extra power after it has peaked at 5.5k? please explain

if the limiter of a vtr was at 3k rpm it wouldnt be 100bhp, it would be less, alot less,
backing off the limiter runs the engine closer to niping up as most internal botom end mods do but acheiving more bhp as the engines having to work harder for instance 1500 rpm harder

So ur all sayin thats wrong :L
