So I have a very solid block with 182K on it. The head was fully rebuilt several months ago. My car runs great, doesn't burn oil, and has great oil pressure. I was wondering...how much WOT driving can I get away with? Not the floor it from a dead stop either wot. I usually take off at an average pace and then WOT it from 2nd through 4th. Is this going to kill my motor quickly?

ummm i hit 135mph on the I-15 south from fallbrook to san diego all i had was a air temp mod, cold air intake, and exhuast(2 1/2 inche pipe). no fuel cut off occured just the rev limiter kicked in and wouldnt let me pass 6,800 rpms this is what i've got from searching around. not sure if injectors have a play in the rev limiter but ecu maybe.

In theory, The rev limiter is only there to make sure that your engine isn't being starved for gas at higher RPMs which causes a ton of friction/overheating your engine/frying your rings. If you put on a better fuel pump, larger injectors, and re-tune your ECU, in theory you should be able to up your redline. Correct me if I'm wrong. -TC -------------------- Live your life for yourself. Don't hold back for anything or anyone.
