Not to be a bitch about it, or devil's advocate, but my understanding was that the F20C and F22C have very similar powerbands, most importantly that they begin to taper off after max hp and torque in a very similar way.

Whereas max hp is @ 8300rpm on the 2.0, but you shift at or just before 9k for the best acceleration (not so much in taller gears), the 2.2 makes max hp @ 7800rpm but redline is at 8k.

The point being that although you should respect the redline (and the limiter pretty much ensures it) on the F22C to prevent engine wear/damage, you could actually increase acceleration just a little by revving past the max hp by a little more, similar to the F20C.

I'm not saying it's worth the trouble, but in theory there's a small advantage to going past the rev limiter in at least the first couple gears, which is why some who race the AP2 raise the limiter (even with very limited mods).

just defending the indefensible h:
