Default Re: Poll: Who has ever hit the rev limiter?

never hit mine yet but i think my chip has it at 7400 now..I shift at 7000 and it gets to abt 7200 buy the time im done! Works for me! Im am at the point now I can tell the rpm by ear. I was going to get a light but my ear can now tell me when to shift. Took a while on the lt5 compaired to other engines to get a tuned ear for the rpms cause she pulls so hard for so long but afer a couple of years now and some practice I have a handle on it!!! I dump the clutch at 3k for launch and it spins the tires just a bit all the way through first, squaks into second and chirps into third....gotta luv my new chip and alum. flywheel and race clutch, b4 the best was a chirp into second only!!! Now she snorts they way we like it! I dont dump it too often (only to show off to friends mostly) since we all know abt the weak link of the u joints!!! and if u dont have driveshaft loops installed well.... i do have to say the gear rattle is quite noisy and it took a while to get used to it(actually u never really do) and it is a bit funny when people first hear it(they think ur tranny is broken) but once u hammer it they soon figure that it must be ok and healthy!!! lol
