I own an 84 vk with a black 202 carby and i was just wondering what they red line at
i dont think it would rev much higher than 5 grand
my EFI 202 doesnt like revving over 4 and a half
thanks alot for your help
yeah mate only 5 grand but if u do a heap of work on them i heard the guys that raced them were gettin 7500 or sumfin like that
Most of the 202 EFI computers don't like anything over 4500, very hesitant and the like.
My VH (173) hit about 5k, our SKiDWAGON with a 202 has been to about 5200rpm, altho I normally only rev out 1st and 2nd to 5000rpm when doin skids, and sit in top gear at about 4000rpm. Our EFI VK we're not 100% sure coz the tacho is a bit out.

same as my vh 173 i get bout 5 just over in that but the 173 loves a lil bit more stick and revs out harder
My EFI202 will hit 5 grand easily that is with an after market comp though. As far as I know the head is stock standard bar hardened valves/seats. On one dyno run the ECU recorded a top speed of 5940 RPM, though now i've set the limiter to around 5 as that is were the power drops off. That dyno shop wont see me again.![]()
i wouldn't take one past 4.5 grand unless i know if was in good nic.
unless it was fuel injected of coursegotta love the calais!
Nah the trans or diff won't have any effect.....possibly if they're worn and putting a lot of restriction on the motor....but still the revs should build up eventually.Just chuck it in park or neutral and see how high u can get it lol![]()

mine will rev to 5.5 in neutral but struggles to get over 4.5 when driving
I have an 85 VK 202 EFI, it will rev to 6 in neutral and driving it can get to 5.5 so give it to it to about 5.2 most of the time
