cant the 4.0s rev up quite a bit higher? since they are sohc?


anyways im not exactly sure but long tubes might raise it slightly, but nowhere near getting the rpms up that high. to create power up there you will need a cam and porting done

guys im happy with my car i definitely dont want a civic lol! but the reason i was asking this is because i saw a full bolt on 3.8 reving to 6500 and making power all the way there so i wanted to see what it would take to get my car to that level

this is what im talking about

Um..... How do you know what that guy was pulling for RPM and that he was making power all the way? A shot of the speedo proves nothing.

that car seems to have quite a bit on it, and i think it probably does have a cam and head work done, i think thats to quick for just a bolt on v6. unless hes just tricking eveyone and has a different rear end gear but never corrected the speedo. i can change mine to some outrageous gear ratio and make a video of only my speedo and trick people if i really wanted to

but if thats a true video props its a quick car
