General 0-100kmh

Speaking of power. Usually in a petrol engine as opposed to a diesel engine...most of the power comes at the high end of the rev range. Well does anyone know what is the red-line of the 999cc FIRE engine??Is 6000rpm a safe red line limit??

i fink the limiter on a 999cc spi is 7500 or 7200 somewere around their

howether when the same engine had carbs their was no limiter not even a lall spring in the disy or out
and they whould rev to 9000 before the valves not closing quick enought stopped it rving any more
the place i work at raced a 1.3 uno with 1500 strada cam shaft and fiat croma 2litre carbureter
also the camshaft was advanced 9 degrese and it reved hapily to 8500 all weekend long without a break and never had a single engine problem
 
Finally managed a 0 to 100 kph test.
Unfortunately, the "test track" I chose was a uphill gradient, so I did 4 runs in each direction.
Have uploaded one uphill and on downhill run video.
Interestingly the times were consistent for each direction.
There are no mods to the car, it is a 1242cc SPFI running on 145/80 R13's mounted on pressed steel rims.
As for the load : Only me, about 65 kgs, plus the spare wheel (pressed steel rims), jack, a tank full of petrol, double set of rubber floor mats, blah blah blah.... you get the picture...:D

Uphill : 0 - 100 kph in 20 sec.

Spun the wheels in the attached video, that would've cost some time :(

Downhill: 0 - 100 kph in 14 sec.

Had a tough time figuring out how to mount the camera, finally decided to hold it in the hand along with the steering wheel, so the pictures will move jump about a little bit, but I guess the quality is acceptable.
