whats my redline???

[jakegday]

hi i just got a tachometer for my cavalier and was wondering exactly what the redline is, its a 1998, 2.2 5 speed manual (tranny probably dont matter) it is NOT the ecotec, its the 2200, any help would rock! thanks

Would 5200 be the dotted redline or the solid redline? And is the dotted redline safe to drive on? I would think redlining would be redlining, so why a dotted and a solid?

6200 est. and the car will backfire.. the dotted line is the fuel shut off. There is no need to be that high in RPMs, the peak HP is achieved at 5K somthing.

CRJ sent me a diagram of the Cavy's peaks. The 2200 engine peaks horse at 5k RPMS at 115 Horse.

I wouldn't go much further then that, but I would go further for the sake of achieving the 5k in a later gear mroe easily.

I would post the diagram but I am in school right now, I don't feel like serching for it, and my teacher is kinda sticky about that.... It is after all high school..
