Well yesterday after i got the truck my friend in his auto 02 Cavalier with the NON ECOTEC 2.2L wanted to race me, i still wasnt used to the truck, and im still far from used to it for that matter.
But anyway, heres how it went. 1st gear i was level with him but as soon as i shifted into 2nd he started to pull on me and it was pretty much over.
I think i could have beaten him if i held 1st a little longer, but the engine gets so damn loud im scared to push it too far... Im pretty sure a rev limiter will kick in wont it?? Im just afraid to push it too far till i get a tach in there, since my last engine self destructed at high rpms under boost lol.
Anyway, anyone got a tach for sale?? this kids 2.2 redlines just before 6, so would it be safe to shift at 6k on this engine?? And does anyone know at what rpm the rev limiter kicks in?
Thanks for sticking with me as i progress through my "noobeness" in owning a s-10... Which my s-10 is now in the shop so hopefully it will feel a lil better when i get it back.
