I've hit my rev limiter like everyday for a month after I put my gears in. The car was so different compared to what it was like with the 3.27s. Every time I got to stop for a light or something, I was thrilled. The lady at the drvethrough at Wendy's was like "Noone has ever gotten to me so quickly from the order speaker before!"

i shift mine at around 5800 at the track, but one time i ended up in 2nd from 3rd at about 105mph, and my rear tires locked up even though i floored it (for about 1/4 of a second) it didnt rev past 6300, and no damage done. why would my tires lock up and my motor not rev very high even though it was floored and in second gear at 100+mph????

Probaly cause 2nd gear (with stock gears anyway) redlines around 60mph. You got lucky that the tires locked and kept it from spinning any more.

I think the stock rev limiter is 6250.
I powershift at 5900 on the spray. I've gotten slow in my old age and any higher than that I hit my 6200 revlimiter.

I've hit mine shifting like that too. I've hit it at least 3 times int he past month so you should be good. That's the whole point of the rev limiter...so you don't over rev.

after i got my first tune.. before the cams.. the retard tuner turned the rev limiter off and i overreved to 6900-7100 ish going from 2nd to 3rd. good thing for him it didnt blow.. but long story short, i wouldnt worry at all about 6100. still running strong.

My cars shift points are set to 6150! Been that way for about 1200 passes down the strip! I change the oil every 2500 mile and use full synthetic.......engine still runs great and has 85,000 miles on it! As long as you put good oil in it often you will be good!
