Dear Mike,

Again, I do not know where you are going with this thread, and again, you have failed to see the humor in the original joke.

Now, let's get back to the root of this discussion, go back and read the FIRST post in this thread. It is a question about a TURBOCHARGED motor, not a Naturally Aspirated motor, not an F1 car, not a British Touring Car, Not a Primera with a mechanical valvetrain, it was an SR20DET. The person asked about REVS for a turbocharged motor. The only reason I jumped in here is because you made a statement which was irrevlevant to the original thread topic. You stated that the only way to make power on an N/A motor is revs. NOW, I will agree with you on this point, that in order to make MAXIMUM power on an N/A motor, you would need the cam to wind as HIGH as possible, point taken, but again, let's get back to the root of the discussion, which is TURBOCHARGED SR20DET with high revs. Simply not necessary. The reason I was referring to the posts in here as moronic, (not directed straight at ya boss) is because these seem to be questions which have either been asked or answered over 100 times, or could easily be reached an answer by doing a simple google.com search. When someone makes a JOKE referring to VTEC as it relates to REVS, he is pointing out that IF the SR20DET were an N/A motor, you may want it to rev to 9, 10, 11,000 RPM, much as many Honda owners currently strive to do, take advantage of the high winding revs their TINY displacement naturally aspirated motors can turn, because it is their only option to make ANY power. The JOKE was in relation to the fact that on a turbocharged car, you just don't have to do this, and it is mind boggling to wonder why someone would want to BUILD a motor to rev way up to those kinds of revs, when the compressor on the motor would be WAY out of its efficiency range at say... 8,000RPM. The JOKE here is on the MENTALITY of the people asking the question, not on YOU, or on HONDA, or on VTEC, or any of it. Like I said earlier, your sense of humor is quite non-existent, or you wouldn't have bothered to respond to the "VTEC" joke above. Sorry I got your panties in a bunch, and sorry if you think I'm flaming at you, I can see that you have a general understanding of mechanics. My intention was merely to point out the absurdity of the QUESTION being ASKED here. Later Mike.

-Ed

P.S. You spelled "sarcasm" incorrectly.
