MSD rev limit tech question., Bill Pickering? Options

[Trekkor]

Got the odd increment pack.
The mechanical rev limiting rotor was a 7300 unit.
I replaced it with a standard Bosch rotor.
I've been running on the provided 7k MSD pill.

I guess my question is, how high can I safely rev my SIX at the a/x for short blasts?

Hi Trekkor,

We won't be at Marina. No 914 racing until the "beast" is done. I'm not kidding about 2006...very sad.

One trick for your car as you go forward is to re-gear your 901. I know that your car is slowly becoming a race car, so I feel okay telling you to do it! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Cheap way is to flip 5th, put it into 3rd, get a "Q" gear for 4th and move the 4th "V" gear to 5th. You're only buying one new gear that way. My tranny had that gearing and with a 7200 RPM rev limit I could get into 3rd at Candlestick, Alameda, and Golden Gate Fields. With that gearing I normally could only get into 2nd at Marina (unless Randal had designed one of his wicked long sweepers down the middle!).

Oh...and while you're in there, put an 80% limited slip in there as well...really feels nice on the big tracks and you can adjust your driving style to get around the added understeer at auto-x's. And....and...and....and...and....and...

Welcome to the dark side....... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)
