Default Rev Limiter Question?

I have an MSD 6AL ignition box and was wondering if no pill is in the box will the factory 6250 rpm rev limiter still be there. I just put the 6200 rpm pill in and never worried about it. But I just switched to 4.30 gears and when I took it to the track last friday I was hitting the limiter at about 1200 ft. mark.

Also, whats the deal with the richmond rear end gears that make winning noises? does any other brand do this?

the stock rev limiter would still be in place.

if the gears whine, it means they were installed wrong. i ran some no name gears in my ranger for years and they never made a noise so i doubt the noise is from bad gears

I was on a tech post about gears and nitrous and seen that someone has richmond 4.10 gears and they make a whining noise from 35-65 mph.

im gonna have to go with lucky on this one,

gears shouldnt whine unless is was a garbage install.

theres some seals and bearings that can make your rear engd whine, but i doubt its the gears.

I got 15x10 pro-stars with 6.5" backspacing. 28x10.5" full slicks or 28x12.5 ET streets are the biggest you can run. I run MT ET 28x10.5 slicks and they rub when i launch it.
