Brandon, overrev is actually very important in drag racing. The more overrev a motor has, the more forgiving it is when you mistime your shift. If your bike falls out of its effective power range, even if it is for .1 of a second, that is a .1+ lost on your ET. By widening your overrev, it not only helps insure that you will hit your shift, but also prolongs the time your motor can stay in the power.
I am on drugs? I never said anything about 14k being the norm, but you should be able to hit 11k fairly easy. Gee, maybe I will put my clapped out bike up against yours. How fast have you gone again?
I'll keep my thoughts to myself. I forgot you guys are "experts". (not directed to Brandon)
