    REV Limiter?

    I know some have rev limiters, some are controlled by chips, etc etc. But how to I program mine to a redline I want? Right now I don't think I have one, I got to 7k and shut it down. I have a miller maf and miller chip, how can I set my limiter at 6k?

            Just pay attention to what you are doing. Listen to the engine, it will tell you when to shift or stop revving.

                ^^yeah, I don't think I've ever hit the limiter in my car, when it was the factory ~6400, chipped 7100, or the current 6900. There's not any reason to if you are paying attention to what you are doing.

                      Yeah I have reved my eninge way up there and still never hit the the limiter. There is no reason to go that high, it dies off a good couple hundred before the limiter.
