[QUOTE="VNMOUS1, post: 15727457, member: 36794"] There are rpm based and speed based limiters on the car. Your stock rpm based limiter is 6250. It cuts fuel and spark at that point to keep you from overreving the car. We generally up that a tick to 6500, which is a safe place to be as long as you are running good fuel. That said, these limiters are not designed to act as 2-steps at low range nor a brick wall at the high end. They are solely to protect the engine. These cars do not like to rev high. Keep your rpms below the limiter and it'll be happy. Bounce off the limiter and you'll hurt stuff (timing assembly first and foremost). So...the question would be what it is that you're wanting to accomplish by hammering it on a limiter. Let me know and I may have some safer suggestions. bj [/QUOTE]
