i have a 2006 70hp 3 cyl carb 2 stroke. i know that the wot range is 5000-6000 rpms. generally you shoot for the top of that range i know. a lot of motors will reliably rev higher than the manufacturers recommended range. i want as much speed as possible out of the motor and im wondering if i can go over 6000?

right now i hit 5600-5800 at wot depending on conditions. i want to get a jack plate...

Re: WOT rpm recommendation 70hp

sure, it will turn faster.
however it tends to start puking parts occasonally.
there is a reason for the max RPM reccomendation.
