a rev limited is a safety precaution, hitting your rev limiter is not a bad thing. its a LIMITER. which means it's not supposed to let the car get into unsafe areas.

every time i went to autocross under my previous tune i drove away with a CEL and a misfire. couldn't never explain it. really made me nervous about pushing my car.

under my current tune i drive the living **** outta my car, never once had a misfire, problem, CEL or anything. and i bounced off my rev limiter at subiefest, especially in 1st gear, and my car hits hard in first gear and bounced off the rev limiter. no issues.

theres a huge difference between what i was running and what i am running as far as safety goes. i've had enough motors built and cars tuned to know whats safe and what isn't safe. i never should have let my tune stand as it was. but i did, it was a mistake. it's bad when your second tuner comes in and says holy crap i'm stunned your motor is still in one piece.

obviously i made more power on less boost, but the drivability is a TON better, which is the main thing. no glitchyness, no roughness, no jerkiness, tip in throttle is smooth and not jagged and rough. the boost is on instantly and pulls to redline.

so do i think that the tuner may have been what caused the problems with alex's car, yea i do. do i have proof.

good luck with your build phil, hope it turns out well for you bro.

everyone is full of piss and vinegar, and has their own thoughts. you're not going to convince me of anything, neither is jon, neither is gully, neither is anyone else. and vice versa. so good luck man.
For the record......you put on a FM. And didnt go tune for your upgrade...once again push blame. But how about taking responsibility for disrupting your ATF ratio...but im talking without education...silly kids
