Default Rev limiter Q

In light of this thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=139312
If Honda cuts fuel as a rev limiter instead of spark, does everyone with a turbo make damn sure they dont hit the rev limiter to keep from going lean, or is there some other modification that you make to change this? Or am I wrong and its not that big of a problem to do this in the first place?

i avoid the rev limiter

I'm considering either getting an MSD ignition OR the MSD soft-touch rev limiter ($95 from summit) which is designed for cars with stock ignitions..

Sounds like a good idea.

go to racelogic.co.uk/ .they have a section on rev limiters and explain why fuel cut is better as long as it cuts fuel 100%.if it is cut 100%,the cylinder will not fire.therefore it could not run lean.they use this technology on the f1 cars and it seems to work.

Ya, it seems perfect in theory as long as no fuel whatsoever enters the cylinder like you mention. Does the Honda system work this way? or just partially?
