By Passing the Rev-limiter

[omcstratos]

can I ask why people want to go past the rev limiter ?
is the power still going to be in the region past the limiter ?
or is this mainly done when the port timing has been changed, obviously the engine can rev higher, but will it produce the horses once it goes past a certain point.

would it no be simpler to just put on the next pitch prop and keep in original power-band if piston /bore work has not been carried out.......

Speed is all about RPMs. The more you turn the faster you can go. By throwing a larger prop on, you will decrease your RPMs and put a bigger load on the motor. Once you find the best prop, you do all you can to get the highest revs with it.
