Drooooooll... rev limiter...... but how much?

 

[cougarguy]

someone said on the other groups that 68.00 is the price on summit but i couldn't find it.

 

[sixt9coug]

hmm... cheaper too

I'm the someone. It is listed in the newest Summit Catalog for $65.

If you read the installation instructions on the crane web site, it does require replacing the stock breaker plate with their unit. Other than that, the installation seems as simple as the Pertronix install. If I didnt' already have a Pertronix, this woud be a no brainer. My goal is to have a rev limiter and not break the bank. Pertronix sells an externel rev limiter for $129 @ Summit Racing. But, for $70 more, I could go with an MSD 6AL.

I am going to do this I was reading up on this after seeing an ad in the new M&F mag.
I am a little disappointed about the rev limiter topping out at 8,000 because I am going to turn 11,000 RPM
:bong:

Not to sound too dumb, but what does the rev limiter do and what is the advantage?

[xr7gt]

It cuts power from the ignition, making it impossible (in theory) to blow up your engine if you miss a shift or mash the gas in neutral.

 

[Vacabirder]

Thanks xr7gt. Would anyone know if I'd be better off changing my stock system to this or petronix?

[cougarguy]

much better its the first mod i feal you should do. better timming and ignition and no points to screw with.

 

[Vacabirder]

Are they pretty much equivalent or should I go with one over the other?
