Default Question about spraying on the rev limiter

I just learned that the stock rev limiter on our motors works by cutting fuel not spark. So if you're spraying a wet shot and hit the limiter it shouldn't be dangerous right? Since the a/f ratio is preset with your n2o jetting you shouldn't go lean and you still have spark so you would still have combustion. Is this correct or is my logic screwed up?

You would go lean and probably cause damage. That is why is good to run a window switch with either a manual or automatic.

I think I'm answering my own question here. I guess I wasn't taking in account for the air that is already being naturally aspirated into the cylinder which combined with the N2O & fuel WOULD cause a lean condition I guess huh. Anyone else have any input on this?
