I believe the light and the bleep is not connected to the scoob actual rev limiter.

Its an indicator that you can set to your own requirements as a reminder when to change gear.

If you want you can stand on the go fast pedal so it pops and bangs but I certainly WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT :lol:

Other wise you may well get more bangs than you want.

The main rev limiter is controlled by the ECU, which can be deleted or increased by a mapper but obviously its there to safe guard the engine.

Standard rev limit was 7400rpm from memory, but I may be wrong.

I think you are possibly talking about 2 different things? The rev-limiter is as Big E says but the "beep/flash" is just to tell you when it gets to the revs YOU set it at... The optimum place to set your "beep/flash" is the max power/torque curve revs which you can determine from a rolling road print out...

If you manage to "over-rev" the rev-limiter I'd say you can kiss the engine goodbye :lol:

it is a fuel cut anyhow, so you are save going up there every now and again...but why you would be staying in gear until then is a bit self defeating.

i reckon you are best going up to 63 or maybe 65 and thats it
