Default damn.. hit rev limiter

i have a GSR motor and i hit the revlimiter twice tonight on 2 different ocassions. don't know what happened, but i accidently bounced off the rev limiter.

i have my rev limit set at 8500 and only have 1800 miles on the motor.


i should be good correct?

i checked my oil and water when i got home and both are at level

Dont worry.

Its not going to kill the motor to bounce off at 8500 once in a while. As long as your not doing it all the time.

Is it a stock GSR??..

You're fine, that's what the rev limiter is for.

have some head work and all new bottom end internals except for the rods. i used the same rods when i had the motor rebuilt.

i do have ARP rod bolts with ACL main and rod bearings.


i don't bounce off the revlimiter regulary, i usually shift at 7800rpm. i've only bounced off the revlimiter one other time and it was only once and that was like a month and a half ago.
