So, again, what is your budget for increasing your redline?

ED thks, the info doent rub me the wrong way its how its being presented. the statement you just said is fine and thats all im asking for its all the the other b.s i can do without. to say fix your alignment buy spinning your car into a curb does not answer the question. the statement you made answers it and leads to asking you for more detail ( a mature conversation) and by the way the camber came out fine.

who said anything about a budget i was just asking a question to make a informed decision. but if one can bring the RL to 7~7.2 k safely and the engine will pull up to that point they when i have my chip redone on the dyno to tune the engine ill have them do it then. but fron what im hearing it maybe safe to go to 7k not sure if its worth it.

Man........do you not listen?

do not pay attention to the red line on a porsche tach.......its wrong!!!!
Do what ever you think...........might be right!.......most of the n00obs here are wrong, and have been just hanging around for the sake of hanging around.

IIRC....your tach goes to what 10k?........that is the real redline.....DO NOT LET ANYONE FOOL YOU........you are smarter, and better looking than anyone else here. No One Knows more than you. WHen they invented Rennlist.....it was for you to make all other look sTupid.......You rock. you Rule, you are da mang!!!!.......................................Please never subject us to your crap again...........................K?

fillipe you must be a noob tac only goes to 8k. chris i never said anything about a 8k budget? pls reread first post. bottom line is just this.. question simple asked how much can one increase the RV on a stock NA engine before losing usable hp ie. my car pulls hard all the way to 6.8k. it feels like it could go to 7~7.2k before dropping off. I simple wanted to know if anyone has tried this SAFELY. 2 Q was what mods would have to be done to tac to 8k, that was it in a nut shell and CHRIS you have answered that thks . i only questioned being told that at 7k (only 200 more rpms) that the engine would throw a rod and would start to hav valve float, tyhat would mean Porsche was cutting it very close and thats not like them to do that, they normally over engineer thier cars. at this point i thank all that for thier insight and ill have to say thats the end for this tread

Go easy on the kid, it sounds like English is maybe his 3rd or 4th language.

In all honesty, after it was mentioned earlier, I realized that it's very likely that English is S4's second language and he's really doing pretty well with it. A little awkward, but pretty good considering how difficult English is to learn if you've not been immersed in it from infancy. I wish I could speak/write a second language remotely as well. If that's the case, I applaud the effort.

Please its just a used car so come down of your high horse now if you go out and pay cash for a new 300k+ GT then your the elite and i tip my hat to you but untill then your just a regular joe so at like one.
Way to win friends and influence people!!! Does this political approach really work for you in life? I think everyone in some way answered your idiotic question... As for me, I feel you should go ahead and rev it up until it blows then your question is truly answered... After all, as you put it, it's just a used car...

Nah, I think he's for real.

S4- let me politely suggest that in the future, you approach Rennlist with a bit of humility. Second, that you actively listen to people's answers. People will respect your questions only for as long as you respect their answers. Just my $0.02.
