<< July seems like a long time from now, but that's a good thing as it gives
me
time to rebuild my good motor. If I had a tell-tale on my tach I would now
know exactly how many RPM it takes to hurt an S800 motor. As far as I can
tell, it is somewhere between 12,000 and 13,000 rpm. That's about what I
zinged it to when I missed 3rd gear going onto the backstraight at Road
Atlanta. But before I got stupid..... damn, she was running strong!
Back to the workbench. Is anyone using MSD boxes with rev limiters and
do
they make one with an 11,000 rpm limiter?

Doug-
Can't imagine how you ended up here on this list...but...
I remember the first time I heard Carson Baird, I believe, passin all the
Spridgets comin out of the "loop" at Watkins. I thought the guy had lost his
mind as the revs continued, and continued. I actually winced and looked
away...until he did it again the next lap! Somewhere I have a picture of the
car and the tach...redlined at about 14,000. I've toyed around with a few of
them, but they never "stuck". A few years ago I ran across the sole surviving
vestige of my "Honda" years, a very nice grille with the turn signals in it.
Can't remember if it was a 600 or an 800 (I think 800), but if you or someone
you know would like it, it's available for shipping expenses.
Turning Japanese, I really think so...not
