But at that point you've already gone over the peak of the power curve.
I'd just make it drop the curve more quickly so it can never go too
fast.

Not possible to do that and still get the best performance.

You're getting **** all performance if you've gone over the power
curve anyway.

It's a primitive technique for an engine under-endowed with torque. When
you change up, there is an inevitable drop in power so the idea of
revving beyond peak power is to get further up the curve in the next gear.

Kinsey simply has no idea.
In the old days you strangle the breathing so customers wouldn't over
rev the engine as it was obvious that you would get more power at lower
revs.

But even my MG midgets of 1970s vintage could produce more power beyond
the orange and up into the red, by dint of having more carburation

Turbo and supercharging makes it even easier to get good torque at te
top of the rev band

These days you cant get 'over the power curve'
