What is the max rpm's our llt can handle before bad things happen? Clutch slipped I know i shot over red, no cel or abnormalities so maybe I got lucky. But still, it got me thinking/worried

I don't think anyone's actually tested that. I believe the rev limiter is at 7100. The ecu should cut any power if the rev limiter is hit to preserve the engine

Alright thanks for that. Didn't get a good look but I know I was over 7k. If there is an actual rev limiter that's perfect.

lscamaro · 08-03-2013, 03:04 AM

Yes, there's a rev limiter unless you have had it tuned out.

MDV6er · 08-03-2013, 03:06 AM

I actually just asked trifecta to put in a nuetral/clutch pressed rev limiter similar to the automatics.. but they said they couldn't do it. So unless trifecta always raises rev limiter, I think the stock loaded engine rev limiter should still be there.

Yea it's still there then, you're fine. Just don't keep doing it

once the Camaro is paid off, i'll be looking at the 6th gen Camaro, 2014 Silverado/sierra, or a used 5th gen. depending on how the 6th gen looks.

Ahhhh ok....I thought I would wait till the 6th gen as well. But the 2014 refresh scared me and I am not sure they will have a v8 SS. So I jumped on a 2012 now.

How does that Sonic handle?

The handling is quite nice. I can take turns pretty quick, without a lot of roll. I was shocked. Would love to mod it, but the turbos are integrated into the manifolds, so I could only do basic bolt ons for now. Not really worth it.
