Thanks, Paul. Good pieces of information. I start to think I am on my way to comprehend the basics.

The 3.2 Euro Carrera put out 231 bhp. The rev limiter was set at about 6250 rpm. Now, the Club Sport edition was blueprinted and the rev limiter was raised to around 6800 rpm if I remember correctly. PAG claimed no power gain but allegedly these engines had an output around 240-245 bhp.
Anyway, as the peak power was reached significantly below the higher set rev limiter, why raise it at all? What am I missing?
