What is the benefit of changing shift point and raised rpm limiter on our engine ?

 

Obviously more RPM's quals more available HP. Assuming the tuner keeps the torque curve aligned.

Higher shift points lets one goe farther accelerating in thelower gears, puttingmore of the HP to the wheels.

Our engines are limited by engineering to conserve them and extend life span. They are overbuilt and can standd being driven closer to their design limits. It is up to the driver to control his urges and keep things within range. But the limiter can be raised safely to say 6300 RPMs without issues.

Have a tuner like Eurocharged do it for best, safest results. They can make the limiter different for different gears and change shift points to match and optinmize performance.

I have a manual tranny and even there, they set the rev limiter different depending on the gear I am in.

 

With a SRT-6 you'll see around 20 hp increase reving to 6400 with mods similar to mine. It's necessary to raise the TCU limiter at the same time or you'll hit the TCU rev limiter at 6100 more or less.

Nothing worse than hitting that null space when the TCU says "uh-uh! Nope not gonna do that."

 

OK, thanks

 

Hi Göran,

I have raised my RPM limiter to 6800rpm and gained about 20whp
