I want to install a rev limiter on my '97gt. There's no reason the car needs to see life past 6grand whether it is by accident or when I bring it to the dyno place! I know they run cars up to atleast redline and I don't want that! Actually life can be stopped around 5800rpms. My question is do Ineed a special set-up because I have coil packs or will most work for my application. I know MSD makes a coil pack with a built in soft-touch rev limiter, but they are $250 each and I'm not trying to drop a dime like that! Also are these a Bitch to wire or fairly simple if your not a complete dumbass? I need some reccomendations!!!! Thanks

 

so you want to lower your limiter? [&:]

 

Right now your car is being limited by a factor fuel cut off. It is not a spark controlled rev limitor..... I tuner should be able to set the rev limitor to what ever you want.

 

Yea you can set your idle also, i idle at 500

 

Holy smokes 500? Mine is set at 700 and it's too low. Car still surges and dies sometimes. Damn cam

 

So when I get my car dynoed he can lower the limiter to 1800rpms if I shall desire??..lol

 

Theoretically yes, but I wouldn't do that.....

 

Wow man thats stupid. you wont be getting proper oil circulation at 500rpm. My tuneer said 850 is the lowest he would go, b.c of the oil flow/pressure

 

Yeah I'm definintely bumping mine up with I get back to the tuner. Like I said 700 is to low for me.

 

My idle is at 700 with stock cam and is very smooth, but it all depends on wires, plugs and gas. I think I'll bump mine up to 800 with the swap and cams and set my rev-limiter at 5800! I know for a fact I won't have any power gains past 5400rpms.
