Thumbs down 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 **** 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!!!

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...

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...

You need to rev a truck to show off?

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