Been reading up on this and it seems that since our rev limiters work by shutting down fuel it can be extremely dangerous to hit the limiter on a blown car.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Obviously the hold 3rd gear trick is a thing of the past as that hits the limiter hard every time.

The last time I went to the track, I didn't hit the limiter. Also, with 130 more hp, you might want 4th anyway.

Yea, pretty sure I'll want 4th.

Bump the limiter to 6700 to play it safe.

Just change it to cut ETC and spark and you'll be fine.
