Default Rev limiter poll...

Have not seen one of these yet...

How many of you guys have increased your rev limiters to take advantage of a mod?


Bumped mine up to 6,700 to take advantage of the new cam!

21st Century Muscle Cars raises the rev limiter to 6500 as a standard procedure when performing an LS1 edit.

Had mine at 6950 for a while after heads/cam but dropped it down to 6700 and set my shift light at 6500 later on. Forum member Sidestep has his set at 7200.

6,700 is where mine is set, but I usually shift at 6,300 when doing the 1/4 mile thing.

Theres no point to rev a motor to the moon if your Torque falls off 1500rpm earlier
