I have a question with regards to the rev limiter.. when i hit the rev limiter it completely kills the power, which for a track day is useless as it cuts my power for about a second? what settings do i change so its more of a bounce than a power cut

My settings are
Rev Limiter
Soft rev limit : 7000
Soft limit absolute timing: 10
Soft limit timemax: 5.0 sec
Hard Rev Limit: 7100
[The soft rev limit retards the timing in an attempt to slow the acceleration of the engine and reduce its power.]
Rev Limiter Type
Hard cut/limiter type
Base Number to Cut Sparks From(sparks): 5
Rev Limiter
Hard Cut type: FUEL ONLY
Cut 'n' number out of base sparks:3
[The base number is the number of sparks that can be cut from. This value will depend on the number of cylinders. Then select how many sparks (or injection pulses, I assume) to cut in each mode.

change the cuts from and the base number to increase the speed of the rev limiter. Off the top of my head I cant think of what's better...if 1 out of 4 would be better than say 15 out of 16.

Cheers man ill set that up and see what difference it makes.. i bought 460cc injectors but they seem to be missing in the post so i imagine they'll be returned to sender. in the meantime i may get some 1.8L injectors so i can run a little boost.. is there any sense in doing that? it's going to take a good few weeks to get my hands on the 460s
