Default Aftermarket Rev Limiters

Hello,

I know that there are several companies selling 2 step rev limiters. Companies like Synergy and Harlen Engineering (dont know if they were sponsor but they came up in my searches).

Now for the question, I know that Thunder Racing is selling these MSD Soft Touch Rev Limiters but I need to by the Rev Limiter and the (2 or 3 step seperatly) Will this work with my OEM ignition. (Here is the link of the MSD Rev Limiter) http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...vid=3&pcid=267

Now if the MSD unit is not work then where can I get the 2 step that I heard that Harlan and Synergy sell. I cant quite find a website for Synergy and the Harlan website says that they are not available anymore.

Just a question but what is your purpose for using the limiter, for staging or burnouts?

I ran a MSD 7AL-3 which had 3 rev limiters and timing retard built in which was nice but that was on a carburated application.

I want something where I can consistently launch the car at a certain rpm, and to have a rev limiter right after my shift point (i am an m6).

Its a stock setup and I do not want to rely on the factor rev limiter on cutting fuel and also I do not plan to go with a non-EFI setup,

I see so a 2 step will work great.

Not sure exactly what brand you want but maybe this will work.

Not sure but it was the only thing I found really quick, but I am not sure if it is a true two step or just a switch activated lower rpm rev limit.

LPE unit would be good to control your launch rpm, and you can rely on the factory rev limiter for your max rpm, we all have for years.

I just dont like how the factory manages the revlimit by cutting fuel. i would rather have some one cut spark. Lingenfelter looks good, what about the MSD unit that I showed you guys in my first post.

I've not known folks running MSD stuff, but it looks interesting, here is the link I was looking at:

I know a guy that was leaving at 7400, so why not =)

That's my plan, 6250 on the rev limiter and dump it

I am wanting to do the same thing... Just wondering how you would control it? With a button on the steering wheel or shifter and release when you dump?

hmmm, does anyone have pictures of the MSD Soft Touch Rev Control that is not for the MSD 6T, 6TN, or MSD 6HVC Ignitions.

Been doing a lot of internet research seems to be a lack of information on this module.

I'd just run a switch that activates when the clutch is fully compressed and then released it shuts off, then you could have some kind of timer that kills the signal to the switch for a certain amount of time so it doesn't hit the lower rev limiter again when you press in the clutch to shift.

i need it as protection for the blower when using a cog drive.

The lingenfelter one is a spark limiter, where the stock one just kills fuel, I haven't used it but it has to be a lot smoother than a fuel shut off.

As far as the cog drive have you seen the ATI ones? I think they have something that disengages so the pulley can change speeds on deceleration, kind of like a bike freewheeling.
