No, ya beer guzzleing hippee! :) I don't think that the higher rpms are the absolute reason for our failures but at the same time I do think it contributes to our problems. I am shooting for a high 10,800-11k rpm limiter. Look at it this way, the faster you rev the more wear you will give to the crank bearing, the valves, valve springs,etc.... When the springs do fatigue you are more apt to valve float especially at high rpms. Normally when we talk about high rpms the community (not us) jokes about 10k rpms. Now we add almost 2k rpms to that. Man, our motors are freaking monsters. That is just one way I am going to tame mine. And you know what, I won't miss 500 rpms.
Happy first of all these motors were designed with the Cannibal map at 10,600 so you suggest to take it lower. Now 11,600 is the moto, blaze, and speed #'s. If you are right, which you aren't then the 3 quads I have owned the 1/2 dozen I have personal experience with and the many others out there with 11,600 are all falling apart. Now I am not adding 2k I am adding 1k and it is stock mapping. Jeff is right about the custom built maps I think they should be aproached with caution, but spreading fear is just retarded.
No have a beer for me while I change my kids diaper! :drink:
