Plus it would get rid of the niggling 2nd gear change drop off! Would you say the above parts would allow the limit to be raised that high? Obviously be better with more bits to help make power higher up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but that only bothers me in full take off mode, usually 2nd and 3rd gear rolling acceleration is what gives the grin factor. I think you'd probably need the double valve springs to help it make that rev limit safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayLock Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Whoever thought this up had way to much time to waste and must had been riding a perfect engine to want to try and improve it further, surely if you want to lighten and increase relative revs straight to the limit you just keep your foot down and wait for the bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Just the change from 1st to 2nd off the lights Though sometimes I feel coming off an island in 2nd and foot down is a bit "blegh" while you wait, if I'm pacing though I'll drop her into 1st for an island! Works well with the heel 'n toe method on approach as the revs match nicely making a slightly awkward downshift easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if the speed drops low enough 2nd is never going to cut it, a quick blip and slot into 1st wins the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
