When you can make the same power at 7500 RPM, then why bother with 8500???? I guess I can do without the big RPM bragging rights, and save on the parts. Never found gernading engines to be that much fun.... Takes a mighty big pocketbook to run with the philosophy of blow it and start over!!!! I guess when you break enough parts, the mindset changes.... Hard to win when the engine breaks, too.......
