Since you didnt get a chip your speedo, shift points, and miles will be off. You should get a programmer asap. I recommend the diablo programmer or superchip programmer. I went with the superchip one, but I was looking at the diablo the other day and wish I went with that one. The diablo one has more options then the superchip.

My friends auto has 4.10's in it and he hits the rev limiter all the time. He hasn't had it calibrated yet cause he is waiting for a chip. Anyways the only time it hits it is when he stomps on it, but once it hits the limiter, it shifts real hard and snaps your head back and spins the wheels. Kinda fun. I don't think it will really do any damage if you're not doing it all the time.

Your GT is Performance Red(ES) or Laser Red(E9), not Torch Red(D3), which was not available in 2000.
Just so you know.

If you love your car get a chip, or buy a hypertech or diablo programmer. The hypertech is like $300, and it'll fix your gears.
