The most ridiculous and damaging thing you can do to your engine is to free rev it like that. Reving it cold is like pouring salt in a gashing wound.

In my opinion, the rev limiter should be set at 2,000 RPMs. There'* never a reason to rev an engine higher than that.

What purpose would you want to remove the limiter for? It is there to help your car live longer.

Its not that im not listening its just that i dont like it there
and any way my engine is not complete stock.
also like i said before it makes my two FLOWMASTERS sound bad when they get cut off at 4000 RPM'*
one last thing i never rev when my engine is cold i know its a bad thing to do and stuped.

i dont think the bore could be inches, and he would have to re-program the computer? Did he get an aftermarket one?
