This setup was designed for roadracing use on 93 octane, in a 40 minute session alot of heat is built up, this just gives a nice cushion. We also designed the setup around having the largest powerband we could, without spinning the engine to the moon. The k24’s live well below 7800, over that for prolonged periods we have seen alot of problems.
