The engine doesn't explode when you hit red line.
yes it does. What are you smoking buddy?

No… it does when you OVER rev the car like on a mistake downshift… hitting “redline” while accelerating on kicks in the rev limiter to keep you from over reving.yes it does. What are you smoking buddy?

I hit redline once in high school. Got mono. Never again.Bruh the red obviously means "danger".

He was being facetious.
Oh God, this may make me look like an idiot, but I thought it'd just bounce off of the Rev limiter a while longer instead of cutting fuel. I thought it'd be cool to have that instead of the car shifting for me. In retrospect I really don't see why I need it now.Just curious what your reason was?
If you just wanna bang off a limiter you could probably tune a soft limiter at 6300 or something and just bang off that and avoid the fuel cut offOh God, this may make me look like an idiot, but I thought it'd just bounce off of the Rev limiter a while longer instead of cutting fuel.

Appreciate the honesty.Oh God, this may make me look like an idiot, but I thought it'd just bounce off of the Rev limiter a while longer instead of cutting fuel. I thought it'd be cool to have that instead of the car shifting for me. In retrospect I really don't see why I need it now.
Again… hitting “redline” while accelerating only kicks on the limiter (nanny/safety that’s on modern cars with ecu’s) to prevent you from over reving. Our “redline” starts at 6k many members including myself spin our cars to 7k yet they’ve not blown up instantly.Bruh the red obviously means "danger".

Yeah our limiters aren’t like most JDM cars were it just “bounces” off the limiter but keeps accelerating, it literally feels like hitting a wall and the cars face just drops on youOh God, this may make me look like an idiot, but I thought it'd just bounce off of the Rev limiter a while longer instead of cutting fuel.

Did not know that was possible. While very cool I don't think it's worth paying a custom tune just for that. I'll probably just end up adding back the auto shift to avoid it happening again.If you just wanna bang off a limiter you could probably tune a soft limiter at 6300 or something and just bang off that and avoid the fuel cut off
