Ed, keep in mind that you older 13B has some advantages over the renises. If for any reason you blow out an
apex seal, which has happened now and then, you old 13b will just spit it out
the exhaust port. The renesis....who knows
where its going....just round and round until it seizes the entire engine?

Having the older 13B, which was redline in the auto at 7500 rpm, I would certainly not feel comfortable with a higher rpm under continuous operation. Now, with
lightened rotors and dynamic balancing, I might reconsider

I am rooting for his success - naturally I would
only run 8000 rpm with his intake on
my older 13B, but I would be happy with that {:>)
Ed.
Why not 9000 rpm?
