Its running like a dream but I'm worried about over revving/not using all the power.
I have a dyno print out showing the power curve and I've just fitted a larger rev counter with shift light which I'd like to set at a safe rev limit whilst using the new power from the engine, should I shift at/after/before peak power is achieved?
Maybe i should just feel for the power dropping off, maybe I'm thinking about it too much…… Maybe YOU can help!?

What doesn't kill me can only make me stronger.

Answer:
When you see the DEVIL!
Used to work for me.
Don't start me on braking points.
Just a bit fun because my engine is untouched and I only push it to 3,500rpm now and again to give it a bit of a clean out but good luck.
I'm sure someone will have the right answer for you mate.
