Ok thanks for the advice But i dont mean to be annoying but whats th difference if its red line or 7000 rpm....
when i red line my h22a i get second gear engaging on vtec as when i rev it to 7000 it engages on 4500.
So if you dont mind can you explain.
thanks

i dont know what ur trying to say exactly but

the reason red line is there is that your motor cant (shouldnt) go faster then it without risk to internals i.e. valve float, **** flying apart, etc.
