Is anyone else hitting there rev limiter in 1st? I don't have an issue in any other gear, but it feels like it hits early in 1st(roughly 6000). Is the tachometer that slow, or is the rev limiter lower in 1st? I have HPTuners and can't find anything that stands out, seems like all gears are set to 6600.

My wife can assure you that it's not 6,000. She hits the rev limiter in 1st every. Fkking. Time.... and acts like it's all surprising that it got up there that fast or something.

Makes sense, it probably barely or almost keeps up from the factory. My HCI setup pulls 600rpm ahead and your 427 1100rpm ahead.

i generally smack it in 2nd when i am doing a pull against somebody and peeking at the tach. when i shift off feel i seem to never hit it. tach may even be slow in 2nd by a touch as well i guess.

I usually shift to second by feel a couple hundred before redline. 2nd gear is close enough to 1st that it pulls plenty hard when shifting to second--no need to take it that far in 1st gear. The top of 3rd gear is usually around the time I get close to or hit the limiter.
