1. More rpm doesn't mean squat. It's power to weight and the overall power curve. The power to weight is close. A GSR is between an SE and SVT. Closer to the SVT. The power curve favors ANY Duratec hands down. No shock there.
So the ability to rev vs. gearing doesnt hold any weight? Maybe Im Confused? Quote:
2. The secondaries are RPM activated. They will ALWAYS be open above 4100rpm. A shift drops the engine to about 5000rpm in the next gear.
Corrected I stand, but still doesnt seem to deter me from the thought of the higher revving motor. Especially with the power to weight ratio.

3. Verses what? A stock Duratec. I agree. An SVT. No way! Compare the actual HP & TQ curves and you'll see exactly what I mean!
Exactly, Reread My Post...I Was Speaking To Emin About His Car. Quote:
4. JDM stuff is not touched by god. A little is better then the norm, but the majority is worse then we get here. I know. I lived there nearly 3 years.
Not Touched By God, But Also Not Touched By U.S. Emissions Either. And I Lived There For 1 Year

Also Japanese regular is about the same as our 85 octane rating. You are confusing octane rating systems. The US averages both octane ratings and doesn't just use the high rating.
Interesting, So They Take An Average Over The Whole Or What....I Was Always Led To Believe That The Fuel Was Of Far Better Quality.
