in the dash board it only goes to 9500rpm but after that it flash 2 times after flash 2 time it mean 11000rpm??

second question is IF it has 11000rpm than whats the peak HP??
Yea ... and it goes 220MPH. When you go off a cliff with the gas pedal to the floor. But don't expect the thrill to last long.

So wait is the redline 9k or 11k?

I tried downshifting into 2nd when I was going 90 to see if the lights would flash more than two times meaning 13k rpm right? But, it was weird cuz the engine just stopped and i went careening off the road.

Anyone tell me what happened?
You probably need to get a tow at about 70MPH and pop the clutch in first to see if you can get it started again. If that doesn't work, try it again, but in reverse this time. Make certain that you have someone in the tow vehicle with a movie camera so you can show your friends that you're da man. Besides, they can play it at your memorial service to remind everyone of your novel approach to driving.

240 hp* - peak horsepower is achieved before redline on the stock motor

Increasing the redline (assuming you don't destroy your motor) would only make more noise longer. You'd have to make some serious modifications to get more power past redline.




*just going with Honda's numbers for simplicity sake.



pantyraider - you're doing something wrong. You should get 3 blips before 11,000 RPM. Go try again

No, I know for sure I hit 13k, cuz I modifed my dash, and extended the part past the 9 to go up to 13, and I defenitely saw it hit 13.

Ok, I might be crazy here too, but I actually think I read something about someone setting their car to redline at 11k when I had just joined the forum.
