I'm guessing that they limit the revs to 6K because the inlet restrictors (and the subsequent optimized cam/timing/tune/valvetrain) prohibit them from making any more power at the MUCH higher revs we all know those Katechs are capable of screaming to before grenading?? |

Speaking of which, I am just amazed at the power they make through those itty bitty inlets. I mean just look at them...

I've heard estimates of upwards of 950 to the wheels from the Katech built powerplants with NO inlet restrictors, and the proper cam/timing/tune!!

So much for 'low-tech'<--(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) American engineering. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/icon_lol.gif) |
