its pretty common knowledge to shift at or right before redline. im surprised at how many people shift early on this forum. in the s2000, you have to let the redline blink 2-3 times before shifting (9000 rpms). even though power drops off (at 8300 in the S2000), itll keep you in the powerband so you can keep pulling. thats why chevrolet made the rpms go up to 6...

Those srt4's have good top end in the 4cyl arena. I should know.

Actually, if You do drop it in the wrong gear a rev limiter cant help You.

To me it seems like a conspiracy. Probably drumned up by a bunch Honda vtec racers who said. "How can we beat those american muscle cars? OH, I know, well just start a campain were we tell everyone that pushrod motors can only rev up to 4,500rpms, after that they well start to fall apart!"

OK, that wasn't nice of me.
But seriously, I hear people all the time stereo typing the LS1 because its a pushrod V8, saying its a primitive motor.

If you held 2nd gear to long and bounced it off the rev limiter, the ECU would see no difference if driver went from 3rd to 2nd, its the same concept and the rev limiter should kick in.

The difference between over reving and dropping to the wrong gear is that when you go from second to first the trans forces Your rpms to over rev. The rev limiter will still kick in, but even if you shut off the car, it will still be forced by the trans to rev at a higher rpm.

RED- 2000 WS6 TA
will it even go into first at 100mph? At that speed, slipping it into third will probably grenade it and introduce you to the weeds ta boot.

Im sorry mogs01gt, but the same thing would happen to Your car.
Try driving down the road and turn the key to the off position. If You are in neutrel the car will completely die. But if You are in gear the motor will still be turning rpm's. (Because the trans is forcing the motor to turn.)
In other words You can drive up to 100mph, cut the motor off, have a friend climb out the window and rip the ECU out, and then throw the car into first, the trans will still force the motor turn at the same rpms as the drivetrain.

By the way, my buddy with his S/C'd '01 Mustang GT dropped from 5th to 2nd on accident at 70 mph. He's lucky all he did was throw the serp belt and destroy his tensioner. Yes, bad things happen to Mustangs when people screw up too. A rev limiter wont help you on a bad downshift.

But when I first bought the car, I missed a shift on my first day going into 3rd and it did bounce off the rev limiter.
