F20C increased redline
Hey all,
I'm considering a Stack gauge cluster for my F20C Lotus 7 project and I'm trying to plan ahead. I don't see myself going FI on this car, so if i want more power it will be by spinning the motor to god-awful heights. How much can the stock bottom end take with cams that can support the upgraded flow? The tach Im looking at is a 0-3-10,500rpm model. Can they spin any higher than that without serious $$$ dumped into them?

Whats the point? Power (both torque and HP) drops off significantly right after thier peaks and before redline. I cannot see how spinning it higher will not get you anymore power from this engine.

I'm talking about a stock bottom end with cams and ITBs. There isn't any power to be had from that?

Okay. Assuming I have the correct cams, a good tune, and the supporting mods (ITBs, stiffer valve springs, etc etc), what can the STOCK BOTTOM END safely spin to? 9500? 10k? 10.5k?
