Red Line And Iginition

[NightCelica]

I have another off the wall idea.  I think that t our engines red line is based not on what the engine can handle, but what the iginition can handle before it starts to fail: ie not producing enough spark to ignite the fuel and/or make to make spark scatter.
So what is you red line on the tach, and what engine do you have? 22r or 22re and year.   yah I know it is crazy but!

it should 'miss' if at high revs and that happens
mine revs much nicer since i opened the xhaust
you haf to do the whole thing, not just a cat back
header may be unnecessary, but there's a couple hp in that too at least
mine no longer has that feeling off dropping off the powerband up high
it just keeps revving and pulling
altho not super strongly
i hav no tach
better fix that before i do my next sand duning trip
i could hold it at redline all day doing that

usually, redline is a safety measure for engine internals
but on stock motors, it's usually above where power drops off, so no one really revs that high much i'd think
once you build the motor, it becomes VERY important
peepl make up the redline...
it's just below wut caused the motor to blow up last time...
they don't design a motor and say redline will be such and such
they dun know till they run it
altho engineers could say, don't spin the crank more than so and so revs...
that's probly wut determines redline with a 'conservative' factory motor

My 83 celica has the standard 5000 rpm yellow line and 5500 rpm redline, and it pulls all the way to 5500.

Same here, but I have never taken it to 5500.  Mine just doesn't pull after 5000.
