Re: Rev Limiter?

There is no rev limiter. The speed limiter depends on the tires it got from the factory. It could have either a 110 MPH limiter, or no limiter.

Keep it under 5000 rpms. You should feel it stop pulling before then.

Speed limitter on an '83? I doubt it... I've never heard of anything before '87 on the TBI cars.

Its not that bad... they make good street engines. My uncle has a Corvette with the CFI 5.7 and its a pretty torquey mill... almost on-par with the L98 IMO. Just aren't ideal for a '*****-out' HP build.
