[QUOTE="keith89, post: 11198486, member: 53797"] I never said it would be fatal nor did I say it will absolutely hurt an engine. However, there is a higher chance of tweaking something due to how the factory rev limiter works and how violently the engine is bouncing in revs. I was just showing you an example where the stress of the rev limiter caused a problem due to a weak link that may have not been noticeable otherwise. The part may have been faulty to begin with but not enough to fail until being over stressed by the rev limiter. I'm just going by the numbers. If you do a search, the weak link on our cars with the rev limiter is the frps. Most of the blown frps reported are due to hitting the rev limiter. I'm sure many have been fine hitting the rev limiter but it's common enough that I would avoid it. I wouldn't preach about hitting the rev limiter all the time like you do though. Besides we established that it isn't the OP's driving style and it isn't the rev limiter since it blows before he gets to the limiter. He definitely have an unusually high number of blown frps. The only thing left really is to get the kenne bell disk and or data log to double check that everything is running correctly. I'm done posting in this thread. Starting to realize why Cornercarvers is the way it is. Makes sense. [/QUOTE]
