last night...i was maxxing out the car and the shift light came on {5th gear}.... it was set to come on @ 6500 rpm .... SO I WAS RUNNING A VRG TURBO... automatic... and when the speed cut came on he passed me .... so i "feathered" the accelerator .. got the rpm to 7000 .... and passed the vrg subsequently.....
mind you the speed cut come in @ 5300 rpm.. roughly.....
i know it is called" fooling the brain" but but 7000 was quite high IMO
AND YES THE TACH IS CALIBRATED PROPERLY....
I HAD A SLIGHT LEAK ON THE MANIFOLD THOUGH ... COULD THIS HAVE BEEN A CONTRIBUTOR TO THE RPM GETTING UP SO HIGH?
