The needle on the rpm gauge went all the way to the end of the yellow bar in every gear. Does this mean that my rev limiter is not working, also keep in mind I still have the oem Bosch ignition in as the permatune was giving me problems at 5500 rpms. I will not do this again as you have me concerned about my valves. One last note my speedometer is not accurate and is off by minus 6 mph. I know this because today I passed one of the speed meters they put on the side of the road and my speedometer was reading 50 mph, however the speed meter displayed 44 mph. Any suggestions why that is happening.
