This is why your car specifications will tell you that your car puts out XXXamount of Horse Power @ 6000rpm and so many foot pounds of Tourque. Pulling power. = excelleration.
First of all the red line is 7k and the 4g63 can handle it just fine
second its DOHC , dual over head cams , not cam
cams dont raise your redline that much ,if anything aftermarket springs, rockers and retainers with raise your red line...
