I used to rev the

out of mine before Pete waved his magic wand.... Remap is def the way to go.. Very rarely go above 3000 revs...
Today, I missed second, on a hard pull away, and hit the limiter... First time in 2 1/2 years! Made a lovely metallic grinding sound!!! ... ,-------,

I've never tried to rev above 3200rpm under any circumstance as it sounds a little angry. Though i might wring its neck on the way to work tomorrow just for curiosity sake. It feels pretty comfortable cruising at 2000-2200rpm and keeps me within the speed limits here.
On a completely separate note. Installed new after market axles today due to the oe ones getting sloppy. Feels like a vast improvement. Hope to punish them on some tracks this weekend.
I'm thinking my next outlay will be a remap. Cheers Sometimes It is better to ask for forgiveness, than to ask for permission.

Max has been about 3200, smoother with better fuel. What mod is best at giving more torque at lower engine speeds?

a good intercooler will give slightly more torque

2010 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Santorini Black

As I use her very often for long distance rides and there's no speed limit she is quite often at about 4000 rounds for a long time. Speed limiter is deactivated and a big intercooler is installed, no tuning or remap. When it`s going downhill or there is tailwind I mostly go off the gas pedal, because I don't want her to rev much higher than 4000 (appr. 155 km/h)
