Re: Rev Limiter on '87 Corvette

["Bruce Plecan" <nacelp@bright.net>]

OEM Tacks can be pitifully inaccurate.
Ain't no way to be gentle on the car for rpm cut out.  They all one way or
another turn the ignition or fuel off, and on.  Turn the fuel off slowly and
it lean, and that ain't good.  Trying to quickly retatrd the spark is beyond
my ability.  I used a MSD multi step, and tried to quickly retard the
timing, but the testing was getting on my nerves for what I was doing to the
engine.  Trying to test at 3,200 was about pointless, ever time I thought I
had it, and tired it at 6,400, it wouldn't work anywhere near as
effectively.  Gets to the general statement of shifting at 2-300 rpm over
max HP is fastest.  Again, test <sigh>
