Further-to what end? He isn't running laps or looking for tenths. How much time do you spend north of 5700 that solids were a requisite for you?

No, I believe Rod is tracking his car, or plans to (he will correct me if I'm wrong on that). But my point is not limited solely to the power/time numbers, but rather to the enjoyment of the engine itself. When you have more rev potential, the engine is more fun to run -- you know that. This whole hobby is simply about having fun with our cars. If we were looking purely for the lowest speed times, we could have built something better for a lot less than we spent.
