Why would you want to go over 3500 rpms anyways?? Do you have any idea how much stressing for your engine that is? that is like 60 rpms in one second !!! how would you like if i told you to pedal a bike 60 times in 1 sec?? You would be exhausted, right? so let it rest... Later Anything is POSSIBLE... sowing the seeds of love"

It's a rev limiter in park/neutral that prevents people from revving their contours real high and damaging anymore than the revving to ~3500-4k rpm already does. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

Is it any more damaging reving to ~3500-4k rpms in neutral than is it in drive? Mystique LS

Anything over 4K rpm's is extensive wear to the engine, and by extensive I mean it does more wear then you average take off from stop. Its why I want to get a tach, cause sometimes I have to take off hard to get into traffic, but I dont want to push the engine to hard. 98 Corolla LE 1.8L DOHC 1ZZFE TEIN H.Tech Springs Tokico HP series Struts Short ram air intake Tsudo Axel Back Exhaust ... if a jelly fish stung me.. would you pee on the wound?

I think the atx's are set up this way so you don't damage the tranny if you do a park to drive drop while reving the motor.
