Sorry to hear that bro. Look on the bright side, now you have the opportunity to forge your internals.

Thats why you need to buy my brand new msd dis-4 ho ignition, lol.. It has a rev limiter that will catch it next time. Factory rev limiters suck. Sorry to hear about that though[&o]

Yea that does suck bad. What does a GT redline at anyway? I missed third gear in mine and my rev limiter caught it a about 7200 but thats not bad for a stock rev limiter since mine is supercharged, and redlines at 6800

Sounds like someone may have did the ol' 3rd back down to 2nd shift.......no rev-limiter in the world can save you when that happens[8D]
