Re op, what was the point of buying this kit and not revving it to 7900?? i take my car to redline on pretty much every chance possible.... on a centrifugal setup changing @ 6500 is pointless... love you car, treat it like a queen but drive it hard when you can, im not saying abuse the thing but use the rev range and enjoy that wonderful motor.

vt1 is a great kit but it REALLY needs to be worked to get the benefit.....
I bust my car at redline every chance I have while driving it hard autocrossing or track. Last weekend I was screaming 7500 while in 4th gear going 130 down the straight at mid-ohio. I can't imagine what I'd be doing with a S/C...lol
