Rev Limiter RPM
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 07-Apr-02 AT 11:01 PM (EST)]You auto guys could find out if you really wanted to.Just pull it down into low or 2nd.and keep it nailed.
.Seriously,I've managed to behave myself the first 1000mi.and not get too carried away with the foot and rpm's.I'll blame that on the pleasing torque of the V-10 ,not my maturity. 
I have easily hit 4500 a couple of times since the first 1000mi.and it didn't sound stressed at all.I was just curious and don't want to get carried away.
Thanks for the info.

Awww... c'mon 4x4x4x4... try it just once. Heck, you have to blow the "cobwebs" out every once in a while. I clean mine daily. 
BTW, the auto tranny shifts around 5200 RPMs- just short of redline I guess.

I've been known to do some engine dusting from time to time.
Seems like I have made it more of a habit with my 96 460 after I installed the Banks Power Pack.:-staun
Thanks for all of the good "advice".

>Okay Monsta,it's your turn
OK, I just gotta find a road that I can do it on safely. I figure that it'll kick in around 85-90mph in second (1.54 ratio) gear. 'Course, I guess I could just leave it in first (2.71) and it should kick in around 50mph.
Oh heck, I'll do it on my way to work...Watch me blow somethin' up...

Uh...thanks...
Why would I want to extend the REV limiter?????? That is there to protect my engine!!!
The same could be said for the SPEED limiter, but rather, it is to protect ME!!
