Yeah, but drop a Mugen ECU in your S2000 and watch your warranty go to hell with American Honda

Hi Folks....
The Mugen ECU has the same rev limit as the stock ECU-9000 rpm. I would NEVER recommend going higher than this. There is absolutley NO power being made over 9000rpm. The power curve starts to peak at 8500rpm.

Cheers!!!

There you go... straight from the proverbial horse's mouth. Just one more point of evidence why the American way of more/bigger is better is not nearly always right.

not true. there is no advantage in going past your point of peak horsepower. you are not making any advantage in holding a gear if your horsepower starts to drop off. you are only delaying a positive gain. there may be some argument for changing gears at the point where your drop off portion of the curve becomes equal to the point on the positive part of the curve in the next gear, but event that is not advantagious. while you may be dropped off higher on your revs in the next gear, you are missing the sweet torque to be had at lower RPM's.

on the s2000 there may not be a big advantage in changing at peak simply because your peak lies so close to your red line.....
