Rev Limiter question?

Has anyone ever installed a rev limiter on their carb'd engine? I want one, just for the safety of not over-revving. It seems like a good price for this modual, and seems to be a good unit, I just want to know if you guys think it's worth wiring up.

 

I'm also new to manuals, and still figuring out my gearbox and I don't wanna miss a shift and blow it all to hell.

I found that the older 4-cyl carb engines rev so slowly it wasn't an issue. I think its a waste of time.

very few L series street cars have blowed up from a few missed shifts.

 

even w/bad rings, id still push the LZ24 >7000 :huh: :devil:

 

 

seems reasonable for piece of mind.

I was at 6800 rpms in 3rd with my L16 yesterday, I think she liked it hot and heavy! :D

Mines not an L :( its an A15 that didn't seem to be well taken car of and its beyond 200K miles, so I don't wanna take chances.

 

The way I figure it, at least I know If I had it installed I would never blow it to smithereens. I don't have the money for a huge rebuild.

Just want to mention that you could still miss a shift and rev the motor to smithereens rev limiter or not. No rev limiter is going to help you if you're already at redline and you downshift.
