So when you glimpse the horse power chart, you think RIPP runs away with it with that surge at the top of the powerband. And it does. IF you look at the chart that way.

The other way to look at it, is the Red Magnuson line is on top from about 2300 RPM to 4000 RPM. Thats the zone many of us live in on the road.

This is where you alone can choose a winner for your own purposes.
