Rep Power: 274 6900RPM fuel cut???
Hey I read on a thread by opto isolator that our fuel systems begin to cut the fuel at about 6900 rpm. so running the gear till 7200 would be a waist of time right? does anyone know if this is true? what would be the sweet spot shift point for our vics? EX that is??

Rep Power: 0 the rev limiter kicks in at 7000, so I doubt the fuel cuts off before then. I don't know. If you really want to run up to 7200, I'm sure there's a way to disable whatever Honda cutoffs there are. Be sure you upgrade your valvetrain so you can handle the extra RPM's though.

and the purpose of going beyond where you make more power is that when you shift, you are in the better part of the power band. best point is as high as you can w/out getting to cutoff
