i just got my ls/vteeec built.
and whenever i try to run a train on something my fuckin rev limiter hits and its fucking annoying. WHEN DOES IT HIT ????
i have a 88-91 pr-3 ecu i know the new obd-2 are 8200 or 8300
someone told me mine was 7800. i need to know so i can stop hitting it while racing stangs. i should blow by them but when it takes me 2 sec to realize wtf is happening i thought for a while my car was fucked up. so can anyone help me out so i can avoid future embarrasment?

actually my tach is eye level.
but it sits at a funny angle and i cant see it very good at 6000 and over rpm. so i cant tell fo sure.
but it deff not 7500. and would an auto ecu run my manual car?
must be 8000 ill chek it out

i know that but i have arp rod bolts/ vtec oil pump and soon i will get valve sprinngs and CTR cams. and i just dont ever want to hit the rev limiter by mistake.

Hmm... maybe I am a little off... but why the fuk would you have a tach in a position that you cannot see the whole thing? I especially want to see my tach when my shift point comes. Sounds like some ghetto racing if you ask me.... Maybe you should worry more about your driving style before you worry about raising the revlimiter... I see a blown bottom end coming for that LS...

hmm wonder how ppl drive with no tacks? ITS CALLED LISTENING TO YOUR MOTOR YOU SHOULD TRY IT SOMETIME. i can tell 90% of the time when i need to shift. but you have to listen. i tend to drive with the radio off or just barely on.
