gti6 high rpm flat spot

[Midnightclub]

Never understood this with regards to "change at 6500", I assume the cams in mine were always quite retarded! Mine used to live for the 7250rpm action, had a reasonable midrange, but was making power just before the limiter, if anything, I always felt like it could benefit from another 250-500rpm, it certainly didn't feel like it was getting wheezy up there... Torque was tailing, but not enough to make it drop power!

I've driven a few that have probably a strong midrange but have felt pretty flat up high, but always thought they were a bit boring tbh...

Agree with you here! Mine felt like it pulled hard all the way to the limiter, used to love it. Anything past 3.5-4krpm and it'd go well.
