Hate how the truck rev's!!!
 
I installed my corsa db about 3 months ago and love it, but the truck doesnt let me show off... anybody else hate the fact that you cfant rev the piss out of it in neutral, i also hate how slow it returns to idle. it sounds really stupid. does anyone else hate this and even better, has anyone tried to change this? and i know it is all for safety and to prolong engine life but come on i just spent 700$ on an exhaust and i really REALLY want to hear the hemi at at least 5k!!!

:icon_no: Out of curiosity, how old are you? I'm usually way off on these things but i would appreciate it if you'd humor me. No harm intended, just in the name of science...

I can rev mine, no issue.

As for the slow fall back.... All new non high performance vehicles are like that. Not all V8s (or 10s) are created equal :)

The rev limiter is there to prevent you from floating a valve. High revs with no load on the engine is not good.

When you install a tuner this issue will go away and it will rev like a scalded ape.
Stock, it don't rev........

Although I've done lots of perf engine building in my younger years, I would never even consider reving an engine to over 5k rpm in neutral, but I'm old school...

Kind of pointless in our trucks....now my 'Vette will rev! LOL

Like you, I can't imagine punishing/abusing a machine for no reason. (I'm also old school when it comes to taking care of machinery) - comes from my farm background, where the machines are our livlyhood.... lose a few days to a stupid mistake, and you may suffer serious consequences...

wonder if the OP will answer BigRed? I too am old school. I see no reason to abuse an expensive vehicle or any vehicle for that matter. each to his own.

You need to rev a truck to show off?

Good to see some of our younger generation with lofty goals in life.
