How high can you rev a cold engine?
It’s never good to rev a cold engine. I’d do a max of 3000-3500 RPM on cold engines. However, in our car, the rev limiter controls how high you can rev before the engine is totally warmed up.. so I guess as long as you don’t hit that limiter, you’re good to go… Rides on H&R Sports with KYB AGX and Work Emotions.
