My Tunercat software says the revlimiter is set at 5823rpm. I have not adjusted it from stock.

Well, the purpose of the rev limiter is to keep your engine from eating itself.

I've bounced off the limiter a few times with no ill effects. Just don't stay there.

stock should be around 5800; I have mine set to 6000 with the shift points slightly lower. That's the '94 LT1 A4.

The Z has a slightly higher rev limit ;)
