Ls rev limiter

if all your doing is upping the rev limiter and not upgrading your pistons, rods, and valvetrain, fuck yea your gonna blow that shit up, ls rev to 6800 and hit revlimiter at 7k, and you want to go 1500 rpm higher, your a brave dude, and your shits gonna blow the hell up, i can see rod shooting through the oil pan and all your valvetrain exploding, dont do it dude, dont do it........

Do not waste money in another ecu. Get a block guard and run a street turbo set up. Also think about limited slip and some slicks. That's the ticket to 12's in that car.
You don't need to rev past 7000rpm. Go see John Lee at in-line and have it done right!
