Does anyone know the rpm limit for a 1996 accord lx non-vtec cause I was at wot in 2nd gear at about 6500 and my car was acting like it was going to cut off or something.

Thanks for the help.

 

should be somewhere near 6300, is it auto or manual?

 

manual with sage 2 clutch

 

redline 6200
fuel cutoff around 7000

 

the powerband ends around 5300-5500rpms, you're slowing yourself down going that high

not necessarily...back when i had my f22, i typically ran it up to about 6400 so that i would land right in the tourque peak when i shifted...shifting at 5300-5500 will slow you down since you have to get back up to the tourque peak on the shift...

 

This touches on a topic I've been wondering about...
If my F22a1 makes max hp @5200 and max torque @4000, what should your shifting habits be for max power?

For max power, should I keep the RPMs between 4000 and 5200 at all times?

Is a rolling pull treated different than from a stoplight?
