Weird 2nd gear rev limiter problem
Hey guys!
I have my TSP H/C all finished up and had it tuned by Dragons Breath in Knoxville, TN and have a small problem.
We raised the rev limiter to 7k in all gears, but at about 6500 in 2nd the car hits the rev limiter every time! We first thought that the car was just revving faster than the stock tach could read, but it doesnt matter if you are on the gas running the car hard or just part throttle easing up in the RPM's it hits it every time but only in 2nd.
I just bought EFILive to play around with and to make any changes that I need to make on down the road. I checked the rev limiters this morning and they are set to 7k in every gear.
Dont get me wrong I am in NO way bashing DBP!!! Bob is a great guy and tuner,but I am out of ideas!!!
Anybody???
Thanks!!

I know nothiong about EFI-Live. But there is the global rev limiter, and then specific gear shift values for RPM and MPH.
If you'tre only having problems in one gear, then I doubt it is the global rev limiter field.

There are three limiters:
1. "Hard" Engine rev limiter in each gear. (Cuts off fuel injectors.)
2. "Soft" engine rev limiter in each gear. (Gently adjusts the throttle plate.)
3. MPH limiter. (Usually set to 255mph.)
The soft limiter is usually used instead of the hard limiter in 5th gear so you won't hit the hard limiter at 173mph.
