It might feel like it drives ok but that’s it.
No point in revving it that hard it’s its on full boost my 3200. You may as well change gear at 6.5/7k.

On the smaller turbos the more modern stuff is def better but the trade of for quick spool is still robbing power from the top end.

Once over 600 ish hp you won’t get quick spool (on cossies im talking)

Making a 600hp YB Rev past and still make power after 8k means the cam type and timing would mean you would loose more than you gain and the natural peak power is around 7 to 7:5k and on a 7670 the back pressure is fine.
My preference for power band and 520hp is ideally suited to the YB.
