I agree....this is the stupidest thread ever!

1) Call the factory...they'll tell you a stock 2.4S will never rev to 8500 without a big bang! I don't care if this is the one engine that is 2% better....that doesn't equate to 8500rpm.
And I beg to differ....1200rpm at this level is a big deal....really big.
2) A 2.4S with stock gearing will never reach 165....unless you dropped it off a cliff (like this thread ought to get). Again even if this is the engine that is on the far end of the bell curve, you're not going to get 165 mph out of a stock 2.4S.
3) More air flow and high compression ratio does not equal higher reving engines. Not on this planet, not on mars and not on alpha sentauri (and I'm telling you the wildest things in the universe can happen there!!!!).
What allows for higher reving is better & lighter valve springs, lighter internal parts, better rod and thru bolts, boat tailing the crank, etc.
Higher compression ratio does not give you higher revs.
Nor does higher air flow.
Fluid dynamics for those that aren't engineers says that higher fluid flow means more pressure drop....not easier for the air to get through.
More power does not give you more rpms....
Where on earth did this notion come from?
A plain T could easily out-rev an S if it had all the correct internals.

There is flaw after flaw after flaw in the reasoning of this post.
Am I the only one missing the boat here?

None of the rationalizing here for a 2.4S to go 165mph and rev to 8500rpm makes any sense.
It's all a bunch of BS.
End of story....
Close this thread....
Please.





ahhhh....that feels much better now....
