Rpm limiter

[Gutterman]

Is there any damage being done to the motor when the rev limiter kicks in?

The car is a 2013 Boss 302,,,, and a 2008 Shelby gt 500

That would kinda defeat the purpose wouldn't it? It feels terrible as I believe it shuts the fuel down,but the idea is to prevent damage. Why your hitting the rev limiter is probably more the issue

Welcome. Let’s see some pics of the Boss and the GT500.

I believe these timing components were damaged from using a two step rev limiter. Stage, push clutch pedal to floor, tranny in first, throttle pedal to floor and rpm bouncing off the first setting of the rev limiter. Let the clutch out and YEE-HAA.

As long as it's just the one bounce and you don't let it bounce continuously, no harm will be done. Otherwise you could risk breaking any of the camshaft drive components or the oil pump gears.

I hit the rev limiter because my car was supercharged; had to rebuild the engine
