...Any Volvo that runs to 7400rpm, has the wrong valve springs, the wrong cam, etc. The same as any Mk 3 VW. IMHO.
Couldn't agree more. We upshift at 6K because while it will pull a few hundred more revs, it makes less power. I think the rev limit on our chip is something like 7500 but I've NEVER seen it, except for once on a really slow start when I forgot to upshift out of 2nd. <blush>
