Would pumping the redline to say 7,000 RPM be an acceptable mod?

Not for the purpose of 7,000 RPM cruising or sustain higher than stock revs but to add a little forgiveness to the already lightning bounce in first or second.

Last I want is to stress the monster. Just asking in theory and practically speaking.

 

What does the factory 996tt limit the revs to? My stage 2 rev's to 7k on the dot?

 

My car hits the limiter at 6500 on the dot

Don't know if that helps or not, but I guess its somthing

Oh wow, get some ecu tuning going, 7k redline is PERFECT

 

It *should* be 6750 for the limiter and 6500 for redline, stock. At least that is how mine works.

 

Mine works the same

 

Some aftermarket manufacturer's do in fact increase the redline on their engine conversions.

Sportec just set a world record for for a 996TT convertible with their 580 engine kit and a longer 6th gear. They went around the Nardo track at 357kmh/h. Pretty amazing!

Record for Fastest Convertible Goes to Switzerland

22.11.2005

Supplement from 29 May 2005:

Apart from the world record for the fastest SUV, Sportec has also, just incidentally, secured the record for the world`s fastest convertible.

Within the scope of a high-speed test carried out by the magazine Auto Motor & Sport which took place between the 27th and the 29th of May in Nardo, an anonymous Sportec customer reached an officially measured top speed of 357 km/h with his SP 580 Convertible. In doing so, the Swiss outdid even the fastest driver of the professional class even though he went to the start as one among the invited Auto Motor & Sport readers "just" to take his car for a drive.

The 580 HP strong Porsche Turbo Convertible with a long 6th gear by the Sportec manufacturer pulverised the former record and set a new benchmark for sporty convertibles. As a matter of course, all modifications obtainable from the Sportec manufacturer have a MOT approval - in Germany as well as in Switzerland.

 

running 220 mph in a convertible, now that'll blow your hair back.

 

The RPM Zone between the redline (6500) and the Rev Limiter (6750) is known as what?? The danger zone? How many seconds reving up in that zone is ok for the engine?

Thanks

my protomotive tune has redline ~ 7400rpm.

doing the redline w/o any other mods wouldn't really have too much purpose; you might make peak hp for a few hundred more rpm, but when done in conjunction w/ other mods (ie, exhaust, programming, etc), it definitely has its advantages.
