The 400 to 500 whp #'s were referring to #'s on an average Dynojet. Last year with my 20G9-5 I made 370 on Buschur's dyno, which I am guessing would be around 410-420 on a DJ. This year I hope to make 420 on Buschur's MD (450-460?? on a DJ)
Last year at many regional and divisional events, and even at Nationals on the West course I was riding the rev limiter at 8000rpms in 2nd gear, sometimes for a whole second or two. I know a certain national championship winning EVO that in some events would ride it for at least 3 seconds in some spots, although his rev limiter is a little bit lower than mine. I feel there is definitely time to make up there by being able to accellerate through the whole section.
I bet if you looked at logs from AX runs you would be surprised how much time you spend between 5000 and 6500 rpms. Remember, the more grip you have and the faster you become, the more time you will spend at higher speeds and higher RPMs. Then again, your region may favor tighter, slower courses. . .
