Rev limiter experience with Ray's EDIS kit

[mouton]

You may never need this, but given that my autocrossing brings me to redline from time to time I do depend on the rev limit feature and have been probing its limits. Looking at the tachometer on a run, I saw it was indicating more than 6000 RPM! Ouch! The rev limiter was set at 5500, as delivered. Doing some experimenting I find that while the rev limiter does set in at the specified RPM, it does not stop increasing revs until a bit further. I ended up setting the limit at 5100 RPM and that seemed to indicate I had reached the limit without potential over-revving.

Checking the RPM with the Megajolt shows that my tach reads a little high at idle -- 580 when the tach says 700 or so -- and so perhaps it's reading high at 5500 too. However, when testing at 4000 RPM and using the computer-indicated RPM it did seem that the max revs reached was a bit higher than 4000.

Interesting point Jerry. I seem to recall I set my soft rev limit at 5,500 (4.2) and I have hit it a few times. Maybe I should check again and reduce it slightly!
