Rev Limiter Tested

Rev limiter comes up really fast!! I gave a buddy a ride at WOT and really embarrassed myself, I thought.

I raced a Mustang Cobra a few weeks ago and the TC/AH cut me off at the start and the rev limiter cut me off at the end of first.

Result. Embarassed myself with the cut-offs and Embarassed the mustang with the power.

Still kicked major booty.

Yep, I'm sure we have all done that... I know I have, even when I'm trying to watch it and the road. It comes up very very fast when launching. I guess I need more practice

I hit that limiter once and awhile myself. The other day on a clear stretch of road I opened it up from first, and just stared at the tach as it climbed. I noticed that the tach does not appear to be catching up with the engine. I hit the limiter at around 6200-6300 instead of 6500 (according to instrumentation.) So there is part of my problem. Damn engine revs too fast!

And, I heard that 2nd gear was going to be lowered a notch for 2002. Which I must admit is a good thing. I have noticed 2nd gear is barely a blip when running through the gearbox. I hit the limiter between 2nd and 3rd more times than I care to admit...

I can't seem to stay out of that rev limiter. I took it out the other day to play a little. Needed a little fix of that Z06 power so I find a nice strech of country road. Roll it on easy to WOT,hit the rev limiter, easy shift to second, hit the rev limiter, harder shift to third, traction/handling activated. This car just will not let me have any fun. I was wondering what the easiest way to raise the limiter set point would be. Hypertech? I don't really worry about exceeding the 6500 rpm limit briefly while shifting but I get real tired of hearing that thing start burbling on every redline shift. If the old big blocks could get away with a 6500 redline I think that an occasional blast to 6700 or so isn't going to kill the Z06.
