I knew my tach was reading high (common problem) but not 20% high! Marc mentioned it and I confirmed with my scanner too - yep - 20%. The tach would run off the scale and then some before the limiter would engage! So, screw the tach. I did calibrate it, and now it tracks pretty well. But, the shift light is soooo much better for best/consistent shift performance and avoiding testing the limiter, methinks  P.

Ain't nuthin better than to let the 32 DOHC's and 16 FI's do their thing and that is to REV and to REV HIGH very HIGH!!! She was designed and born to run just like a "Cheetah" achieves by far the fastest land speed of any living animal—between 112 and 120 km/h (70 and 75 mph) in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m (1,600 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h (62 mph) in three seconds.

Saw something similar a while ago when a "C4" linend up against some prey C5/6s. The prey animals in the stands were chatting it up and loudly scoffing. They didn't realize it was Pete's predator Z about to prey on the one of theirs... The next time that Z came to the line, the prey animals in the stands went quiet! LOL! P.

Re: Poll: Who has ever hit the rev limiter?
Yep. I bought this car to have fun. I don't plan on hitting again but hey, **** happens. I didn't mean to hit it the first time.
Geoff Jeal told me that during the LT5 Calibration Certification, the LT5 was run for a continous period with an RPM cycle of 5500 to 7100 and back again. Not one component failed and not one fastener came loose. This was the certification. Seem like the duration was 200 hrs?

Re: Poll: Who has ever hit the rev limiter?
Yup. Hit it by accident. Hit the throttle in second and spun the tires. Surprise, hit the limiter! Thought I blew the motor! Then I realized it was the limiter. Nice insurance!
