Hey Guys,
I would like to hear some opinions and or advice about what you think Im doing to my engine by running it to the rev limit set by my stock black box. I am running a 3.58 gear in forth gear. I am getting on the rev limiter within a few seconds of getting off the throttle,to make my turn in to the corner, on both the front and back stretch of a 3/8 mile track. Will this damage the engine? One of the local racers has suggested that I change to the Red box to get a higher rev and or also change to a 3.42 gear, what has been your experience. If I run in 5th gear the car doesnt seem to have the power that it does running in 4th gear.
I have not started racing yet, just running on the 'test and tune' nights. There is usually one to four cars out there with me at any given time, which allows me to run pretty much all out. Normally, I get to run about 50+ laps, in groups of 10 to 12 laps per night. I am changing my about every two weeks.
What is should my biggest concern be? Damage to the engine or to the electronics? Should I make any changes? Any opinions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Todd
