Hp ratings
Posted: Tue Aug 04, 2009 9:33 am
im confused..
The theory says how higher the rpm, how higher the hp rate will be. But the specs from my engine tells that the original engine has a peak hp 230 @ 4400 rmp. But the engine runs about 5500 rmp.. Why not more hp at 5500 rpm?
In my setup the engine makes 6600 rpm (headers and aftermarked intakemanifold and injectors). How much hp would i gain with higher rpms and what hp rate should i use?
