I have a 14 miles stretch of highway (I-95) from my home to my exit for work. The average speed on this stretch is about 80 mph (actual).
My Burg 400 seems to have a top end at 8900 RPM of around 84-85 mph (actual, not indicated speed). Once the Burg engine is broken in properly would it be safe to run the 400 at an indicated 8900 RPM for 14 miles to work? Of course, I would be running at 8900 RPM on the way home as well.
I realize that my Burg can easily do 75 (actual) with no problems but what would be the MAX speed to avoid any engine damage on the highway? Would you limit the RPM to 8500? 8700?
Thanks
