You might not want to go any further because the oil clearances are so tight in The new engines that it will heat the oil up to much causing a lot more friction on your main bearings. maybe causing them to spin off track and you will have a different wear pattern causing a real bad ride and bad engine. Good luck with engine life too. Rev limiter is set there for a reason. I wouldnt reccomend it. Would like to see a dyno run tho

i heard revving it this high can shorten the ring life of our cars.. is this true??
removing the limitor is absolutely worthless and if you [b]need[b] to do it, you wouldn't be using some cheap piggy-back computer.
You won't gain in the 1/4, you won't gain in autox, you won't even gain on the street.
All you're doing is putting more stress on a high compression engine thats known for breaking ringlands.

Im going to laugh when someone blows their motor. Just because you dont see immediate damage does not mean that you are not killing your motor. If you want high rev get an RX8. By the time you spend all of the necessary money to get the motor to tolerate 7k you will have spend the $ you could have just got the RX8 for.

instead of using the emanage to raise the rev limit and speed imobilizer.. why dont you ppl use it for whats it for and thats to correct the A/F ratios on our cars so we dont run as rich as was set by our standard ECU.
revving higher on a torque and HP curve that reaches peak at 5700-5900 rpms is pointless. your not making power or tq so infact revving that high you would actually loose in a race because your not producing anything what so ever.
unless your going to also replace the valvetrain to something stronger, when you drop a valve or something breaks because you wana be a honda and rev to 8k + dont cry because you have to replace the head or block. if you going to flirt with disaster atleast protect yourself from danger by upgrading the valves, valve springs, retainers.
also our stock head doesnt benefit from the over rev because youve maxed out the air input and output. try doing a p&p and valve job to increase air flow. then maybe you will see gains past 6k.

if your not making hp or tq after 6k why would it matter revving to 6800 or 7k (since you want to be ****) ....HELLO? theres no point at all? why waste time in an rpm range thats not helping you get ahead with major upgrades and work on the stock head or atleast FI?
its pointless!! and also potentially harmfull

ok...ppl, tihnk about what your typing, and what has already been written
we know this has no benefit on a stock enginge(i mean bone stock!!!)
add a full intake and exhaust, you push your powerband over....that opens your air in and out, quite possibly allowing much more power in those power bands....so on a mildly modified engine, going to 65-6600
i've seen my engine go past the rev limiter.....thanks to centrifigual(spelling?!?!) force, only to a little above the line....not much, but a little
this is very, very nice for superchargers..... if your running 12 psi at 6100RPM, you might be able to get to 13 higher up.....and since the s/c graph goes all the way to redline for hp and tq, this is a nice addition to *view* the power beyond this point
phew/end rant
good job, but be careful...., we're all venturing into unknown territory here
