Re: making a 6 rev faster

More air & fuel = faster revs. Step on the gas!

Lighter weight parts will allow it to spin easier too.

...there is alot you can do to make these motors rev not only faster but higher....really in stock form it just doesnt rev to a full potential...now if you go the 3400 top end swap route then you can get more air then add some more fuel...plus you can rev even higher..it all = more and ...lol

Re: making a 6 rev faster

reducing parasitic drag like power steering, alternator, smog pump, and a lighter flywheel. if you take your belt off and rev the engine without accessories (briefly, remember, no water pump) you'll know what I mean.

Re: making a 6 rev faster

With just my UDP and having no cat my power is much more spread out through the rpm range. It now still pulls at 3500rpm.
