alright adder was right. I just checked my cam card it is my starting shift point that is 6200, and redline is 6800.

shouldn't my car have a factory rev limiter though? i took the car to 6200 in 4th and never felt one.

is this w/ the stock tach ? cuz i bet your not at all close, and stock tachs are waaaaay off

use a good tach and see where your really at

4.10's should have you trap at about 5300-5500 (not sure how your geared though)

it is with a stock tach. maybe I should invest in one. could it really be that far off tho? I remember looking at the tach right when i got to about 110 and seeing it a little over 6000, are they really that inaccurate?

also is that for a t5 gearing? i have a tko and i'm not sure if they're the same.

There's a couple "mini" tachs you can get for cheap. Thats what im going with and just going to mount it on the steering column to block the OEM tach.

No 10" monster tach BS is going in my car.

Your rev limiter should be 6250 if it is still stock.

yes they are off by that much... thats why you didn't bump the limiter even though it looked like you should have

t5 gearing = tko gearing in 4th gear

they should both be 1:1 (i have no idea what the other gears are though in a tko)
