Default how high do you take your car?

I have a stock b16a turbo.... runs great... but I cant take it past 7500 because it starts stumbling. is that common? I have heard most people dont even take it that high anyway. is this true? thanks!

It shouldn't stumble at 7500. I take it to 8000 without any problems...

i take it to 8300... no stumbling whatsoever.


stumbling past 7500? you probably need better tuning.

my old integra got a bit stumbly past 7400, but I was running an FMU.

Do you have a small turbo? Perhaps it isn't efficient to your redline.
