Hey guys, I just bought a 2006 s2k. This car is fantastic, however I'm kinda feelin down since I have the F22c engine and can only rev up to 8200rpm while the F20 can rev up to 9k. My whole logic on honda with high revs is, it's not the size of your engine, it's how high you can rev the car to beat the big guns. Pretty much compression and refinement over displacement. Which engine do you think is better? Was it true that some F20 engines would blow up since it couldn't stand the revs, and some drivers was power hungry and would go crazy on the revs? and the strategy behind honda stroking it to a 2.2 was to raise the torque and lower the compression, pretty much to make the car more reliable and more torqey for the american market?
