rev limit
I have bounced of the rev limiter a few times,, I have read this can cause broken spring and bent valves,,why,, I have thought the limit was to protect,, not hurt....The msd system I have in the street rod cuts cylinders ,,never had a problem there either...I dont do te overrev on purpose,,just trying out different shift procedures,,,the 98 I have doesnt seem to shift fast enough close to red line by shifting manually,,,what is the best way,,leave it in drive and just let the computer do the work.... :confused:

Re: rev limit (wrustywrench)
You're right - that's what the rev limiter is there for, to protect it. Why have a rev limiter if it's set at a point that the engine can still be damaged. Now, you can dame the engine by down-shifting at too high a speed and too low a gear, like going into 2nd at 130.
You may want to look into a shift kit or tuning for firmer shift points to get the kind of response you're looking for.
