Re: Burnouts/rev limiters
Interesting read, I have always been very careful during burnouts as I am running drag radials and am always worried about blowing up my 9 bolt. Never thought about the motor.

Re: Burnouts/rev limiters
My burnout rev limiter is set for 6000 rpm. I've bounced off it a couple of times but usually only do a burnout in the low to mid 5000 rpm range. High end rev limiter is set for 7800. Starting line rev limiter is currently set at 4500.

Re: Burnouts/rev limiters
my burnout limit is 5500. i pull out of the water, stop, set the line lock (which activates the 5500 limit), and then mat it. it pretty much immediately hits the limiter, at which point i back off on throttle enough to keep it off the limiter. at the same time i shift it to high gear, count to about 3 or so, and turn off the line lock as i slowly roll off the throttle.

Re: Burnouts/rev limiters
I'd always figured holding against a limiter at any RPM wouldn't be the best thing for an engine. Yet everyone does it.

Re: Burnouts/rev limiters
I hear a lot of bracket racers on the 3 step the whole time in the water at around 5000 rpms. doesn't sound good.
