Question about rev-up
I hope I am in the right place... . Can someone explain what rev-up is, and it's impact on performance. Two guy's at my work have Z's (04 and 06) and I am curious.

Engine has been "tweaked" on an '06 allowing it to rev 400RPMs higher, thus the 7000RPM redline. The non revup has a 6600RPM rev limit. (The '06 auto is a non revup). The result of this tweak is increase in HP - 300, opposed to 287 on the non revups. The increase in HP sacrificed some TQ loss though.
Search on the forum and you'll come up with lots more info.

Meh I'm too lazy to search for any dynos, if you have some that illustrate what you're talking about then I'll gladly take back what I said.

Speed shifting or Powershifting?
Moderator, please remove this thread if u need to as I don't intend to put this subject here.
Sorry guys but after reading through this thread I'm still not too sure about the difference in the two. I have been driving MT for 10 yrs and never knew the difference? With the Z, on a quiet back-street that's normally where I play with my car when no car's around, usually I switch gears at about 5.5K during 1st & 2nd and I felt pretty fast. I understand you need to hit close to the redline to experience the most HP, but I'm just curios to know what am I doing? am I powering or speed-shifting?

287hp * 5252 / 6200 = 243 ft-lbs
300hp * 5252 / 6400 = 246 ft-lbs
6200 and 6400 are respectively where the engines make their peak amount of HP. As you can see, it has more torque (albeit 3 ft-lbs) 200 RPMS later in the powerband.
The reason the MREV-2 and 5/16" spacer works so well is it improves the low-end torque that was missing from the revisions Nissan did. Thats why overall, the Rev-Up motor makes less torque. It does have a somewhat broader powerband though.
