8,500 is max at this speed it really sounds good

5,500 is stock

3,000 is power

5,500 huh? i haven't taken it past 3,500 because it almost sounds like too much, but then again, when i shift up (into 2nd or 3rd, etc.) i'm completely out of the torqueband.

thats why he said "3000 is power". Unless with modifications like a Weber, electronic disty setup, exhaust, and a good intake setup, you won't get much of a powerband and then when you do, it's a low RPM band...

ok, thank you very much for the speedy responses!
