Re: RPM limits of GM computer/ignition module?

     The RPM value that's defaulted in the Data stream does max
out at 6375, but the car will rev higher than that - and there is a more precise
value you can poll from the pcm - not sure where that maxes out.  
    How would this "soft rev limiter" exhibit itself?
