Rev Limiter

[DonD]

Does anyone know at what RPM the computer cuts off fuel flow to the engine in the 4BW? Thanks, Don

I accidentally did this in 1st in a 5BW at Spring Mountain on 0-60 track and it was pretty much where they say the max speed for 1st should be. I haven’t done it in my car.

If only there was some way to find this out for yourself

I'm pretty obsessive about car maintenance.

On the way out of our neighborhood, left the mail boxes and to my irritation, the shifter went to manual not drive and quickly but briefly ramped up to 4500rpm on very light load (sharp downhill) conditions before I corrected it.

Thanks for the rev limiter data. Don

Be careful, good sir. If you rev it to 4,500rpm a few more times, you might pop the engine.

If the rev limiter goes to 6500 how will 4500 trash the engine? If that were the case, there'd be endless engine replacements. Don

Half of it was a good laugh. The other half was a little scary.
