CarTest fun: 5th gens need a raised rev limiter
Based off of a stock dyno of 183hp and 178tq I was able to muster a 14.93 @ 94.6 with the stock rev limiter. Then I decided to start playing with it, since 5th gens make all their power at redline, to see what would happen should a 5th gen owner get a raised rev limiter.
All runs were made with a 2.22 60' time.
6500RPM Limiter
14.93 @ 94.66mph
7000RPM Limiter
14.81 @ 95.00
7200RPM Limiter
14.76 @ 95.11mph
7500RPM Limiter
14.72 @ 96.19mph
P.S. Yes I am playing with CarTest at 11pm on Valentine's Day. My girlfriend is in another state, thus you guys benefit from my temorary celibacy

Could you do this for a 2002 Neal? www.frankencar.com has a stock dyno chart.

I even did it with your mods, which seem to have shifted the peak power more to the higher RPM range, and still gained only .01 second from a 7000rpm limiter. You would only benefit from it in 1st gear, other optimal shift points are around 6600 which is the stock redline.

No gains whatsoever. Peak power on the stock 2k2 comes in at too low an RPM for raising the rev limiter to have any effect, all the optimal shift points are before the stock rev limiter even, so raising it doesn't help any.

I still havent figured out why JWT or UPRD couldnt at least raise the rev limiters on the 98 + maxes...so what if they cant crack the code for us and give us more fuel and change the timing. I'll settle for a raised limiter to go with an upcoming vi
I want one.

It is too bad there isn't a cheap and easy way to do this.
I recall looking into something called the Program/unichip a couple of years ago that could do all that. It was a piggyback to the ECU that allowed complete tuning.
Only problem was that it was ~600 BEFORE tuning.
