The pills are just resistors in a fancy package. Nothing more. I think 8000rpm is around 3k ohm (but I could be totally wrong as that's just what I recall).

Just try to hook something up and see what happens. More resistance should be lower rev limit.

I didn't like the limited range of those rpm pills, so I custom made my own. It can be set to any rpm up to around 10K.

What RPM's do you need? I think I might have a couple laying around from my nitrous days.

Very good man! I did something similar to that. I just found a little connector that I hacked up that would plug into there and ran a couple wires to a POT on the cabin. I was also going to hook it up in series with another resistor through the clutch switch (to lower the rev limit when it's in) for full-throttle shifting and launch control...BUT, I just took out my 6btm. SO, if someone is in the market for one, hit me up! It's in perfect working order, but scuffed up
