Noticed on another thread that maximum power is available at 7900 in a T350RR. Is this right? If so it looks like I've been a little over cautious. After running out of revs mid overtake in my first Chimaera some years ago I have tried to not go beyond 7000.
Only had the T350T a month (and 2500 miles) so I haven't got anywhere near that yet but as this car begs to be driven (spiritedly) I'm sure I will.

Best way to tell is rev it out in 2nd gear till rev limiter comes on! Then set your change up lights accordingly with the red one at about 200 rpm before the limiter. My car seems to cut out just after 8,000 rpm but not every car is the same RR or not.

I would wait till a few more miles have been put on and more importantly check your oil temp is warm enough. You might be surprised how far you have to travel to get it there never look at your water temp as a guide.

The normal speed six doesn't produce much more go above 7300-7500 although the red line is 7750 I think. My change up red light is at 7300, I don't think there is need for it to be aany higher.

Hope that helps
