Wow Slinky, what kind of motor do you have that spins 5,500K? Did you swap a jet engine in that baby? I take it up to 6k every once and a while but never above 3k or more than 1/4 throttle when its not at full operating temperature.

I have a V6. It rev limits at 5750?
My MSD DashHawk's shift indicator is set just
below the stock rev limiter. The Raptor is kind
of a pre-shift indicator. It works well that way.
The DashHawk is a visualAND an audiable warning.

I have already had to replace my Raptor shift light
as all of the LEDs finally burned out from use. [&:]
And I have it set at 5300 RPMs.
Shetakes what I give her. Hopeshe holds up
for the time I haveher until selling for another.

When I owned her in the first year or two, I did hit limp-mode several times but that was the result of shifting like a wild man from 5th to 3rd and so on. I know from experience that it's better to leave off the traction control because the son-of-a-bitch will interupt your fun with all it's traction control. Now with my 4:10 gears I only downshift from 5th to 4th for immediate barn burning and sometimes that isn't really necessary with all the gear I'm pulling. As far as the rpm factor , I still light it up occasionally but thanks to the gas prices I'm obeying the law more and more each day.
