hey, man no prob at all, it happens to the best of us, thank you for your response appreciate it.:R
no manufacturer puts a rev li miter for the sake of screwing with someone elses day…
they limit revs because “after this point you are FKING the motor”
NOT “could be Fking the motor”…YOU ARE FKING THE MOTOR…
some people need to see a full red/yellow/green and back to yellow / red before they understand so here it is…and how it works.
while driving,
as a standard “rule of thumb”
Super low rpms = bad (under 1000 ish) unless in neutral / idling
after this you are in redline and damaging your motor…PERIOD no arguing…
sure you may not be doing anything obviously drastic but, you are weakening components and stressing others etc…
in the future they will be able to say
Unless you internally upgraded you motor, your damaging it.
throwing a turbo on and reprogramming the ECU does not move the redline.
… in the old days you’d get “valve float”, where the motor would be spinning fast enough the Lifter didn’t have time to come back down on the cam due to hydraulic problems.
If I ever have to type this again I will find you and POO on your hood…
this is why there are rev limiters, they let you go past but only a touch
as a side jab…gm redlines sould start arround 2500 rpms…lol
Hey man thanks for the detailed info, i was really interested in your explaination on the valve float i wasn’t aware of the info, and yea,lol GM should limit their engines to 3k, although i can’t say much for their 07 and newer models, they do seem to be getting a tad bit better.
Oh and if you want to pooH on my ride, you’ll have to aim hard and shoot fast through that azz, because its not a car but a fast bike you’ll have to hit.lol:p
