shark frog and lx,

what causes this in the hemi? do you just end up floating the rod/piston, or is there something else with the motor?

So when people buy the superchips or the diablo and get rid of the rev limiter that is a bad thing?

So I can raise it to be like 6000 instead of 4000 for being in neutral? All I want is to have the sound go a bit farther when I rev it. It kinda sound pathetic after 4000 when Im in neutral.

once I hit 4500 RPm, I bounce of the rev limiter, I have a 6sp, wounder if automatic hemis have less of a rev limiter, now I'm not racing the engine at a stand still, but when I play drade racer in 3rd and up, I can pull 4500 rpm with stock tune.
