well sorry I should probably re-iterate better, my bad.

What I meant is that most of the time I would rev between 3-4k but occasionally I do give her a bit of a good push to 6-6.5k but you can't really do much of that on the street.

I am planning a short block and 5 speed hybrid only because he car has done 216,000km and never had a recon or what not and just wanted to have a fresh engine and gearbox before they blew up.

Again I would be honest I am very new to the performance scenery and I'm not going to for one second pretend that I know about it which is why I'm interested to know what others with more experience think about and the plan to have a short block and hybrid gearbox is again based on what I've researched and what is recommended or suggested by friends.

If you think I'm heading in the wrong direction with the plan, please do tell me and I would be eternally grateful

Thanks again
