Using the rev limiter as a shift light is bad practice. Loading and unloading the engine this way is very hard on the rod bearings.
Really the rev limiter is the lesser of two evils and is just a safety device that should be used sparingly. Most T4 engines the redline is about 400-500 rpm past the peak HP output. |
