im constanly hitting valves so i figure i better find a way to make a rev limiter,, now i have no money and just happen to have a tack kicking around with a shift light, i wired a relay to the negative side of the coil and wired the shift light to trigger the relay, so now when the light comes on it kicks out the coil and drops the rpm and kicks back on when the light goes out.. quite genious i think. will post picks if anyone is interested

Man ur engine must be fresher than mine was, I was scared to rev it past 4K!!!

Sigma-galant.com has a heap of techy info like that - also has maniacs with 4g45s that rev to 9Grand!!!
