Problem: Rev limiter is kicking in about 1/2 way down front & back stretch, therefore losing about 1/3 - 1/2 accelerating zone and getting passed just before the turns. I am running in 2nd gear on 1/4 mile asphalt (3rd just doesn't have enough acceleration response off the turns). I am running 195/60/14's. With suspension chopped way down, I just don't have enough clearance to go with 195/60/15's so bigger tire/wheels isn't an option. Any way of tweaking the computer, or over-riding, or eliminating the rev limiter all together? I know it is built in from the factory for a reason but it is killing me on the track. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You could try an ECM from an Escort GT if you can find one. They have a higher RPM limiter, how much higher I'm not sure. I belive it's 300-400 RPM.

If your car is a standard swap the computer with an automatic computer.
