From what Ive heard and my own personal trials, rev limiter kicks in at I believe 115-118. Something like that.

I don't know, but my auto 3.1 sounds like it's gasping for air at 65.

thats because you need to redo the intake- just take a look under the hood and look at the intake, the size of the hole is like the size of a quarter
i did the ghetto intake one on thirdgenmods.firebirdv6.com just because it was cheaper, but im thinking of going with the dual snorkel from an earlier camaro
either way, it definately pulls at top end more

The stock AZTY cal for a '92 w/auto cuts out at 115 MPH and is back in at 112 MPH.

And even better is the radiator fan cut in/out temperatures: On above 226 F and off below 219 F.
