Why would you modify it?

It's been set at the point it's at for a reason...

Well considering its an old engine and all, prolly not much more than a few 100 rpms over the limit, not exactly worth it. I really wouldn't do it tho, as said already the limit is there for a reason and if you rev it too high you're gonna completely f*ck up the motor.

yea, there is no gain in raising your rev limiter. a stock F22 doesnt breathe that well at high RPMs well anyway, you wont find anymore HP up in the higher RPMs.
