I was having some shift point issues for a while and I was hitting it bad and often on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. I finally got them dialed in though so I only hit it when I spin really bad.

Wow everyone seems to have problems with the stock pushrods. My tune doesn't have a rev limiter, at least that I've hit yet and I've had it at 7100 RPM once or twice. I have 918's with a 224/228 591/591 custom grind and I've hit 6400 several times on stock pushrods. I Know it's not the smartest thing but maybe I have those 1 in 1000 factory freaks. I'm about to get a set of titanium's though

well, my car decided to go past my 6500 rev-limiter somehow, i swear i saw 7k...a week later i have a spun rod bearing. I hit it in first, flew to 7k i so fast i didn't know what happened. I guess the rod bolts decided to stretch on me LOL
I voted "i have hit it some many time i can't even count", i would say, just be careful, expecially if you lose traction. I don't want to see people in my situation. $2500 later i will have a nice forged shortblock good for 7500rpm though.

i have 918s and comp hi tech pushrods stock retainers and locks and i hit my revlimiter all the time set at 7000 i have an a4 and manual shift it to try to get to my 6800 shift point cause the tune is not right, it takes to long to shift the gears so i am installing a shift kit to help it out!!
