what is the redline?

There is no point to revving that high for a street-driven car. You will need a huge turbo and/or peripheral/bridge porting to even come close to making good power at rpms that high.
Also, to achieve a 12k rpm, be prepared to lose all power below 4500 rpm and to have a 2k rpm idle...

i don't believe everything i hear or read, hence, the post. i'm not saying i'm interested in doing it, just trying to learn something new. i figure, if i learn something everyday, i can't possibly forget it all next time i'm drunk

hmm a thought just occured to me. If with certain porting your idle becomes 2k rpm ish~ what do you do when you move from a dead stop? burn the **** outta your clutch ? its like holding the RPMs to 2k and moving.
