I have no intention on blowing it up. And have already sent a email off to Tony asking for my current tune with the stock rev limit attached to it. Since I have autocross this weekend and with a co-driver who's not used to my car.. I may have to call him tomorrow if I don't hear back before then. I know in automatic sport mode the car still shifts it self at stock rev limit so if I dont hear back I may have him just run it in sport mode.

However, the times when an auto is most vulnerable to damage is initial starting from a stop and when shifting. Its difficult to make a strong valve body and I would be really concerned about fluid temps and pressures when your input shaft is spinning at >7500 RPMs and the locking clutch disengages suddenly. Besides, its been my experience that when an automatic fails, its a cascade of failure from there within the transmission and they end up looking like a bomb went off inside it.

Also, If it springs a leak at that pressure, transmission fluid goes everywhere, hits your exhaust, catches fire and burns your new car to the ground. Very nasty business indeed! I've seen it first hand!

Lets not forget the P&L car that made over 450whp last year lol

sorry for the old bump, but I want to read this thread and have no idea how to find it later without subbing to it.

No worries from me for bumping this up, I was actually just wondering about feldy the other day as I'm a fellow AT owner and was wondering if he was still running raised rev limit on his AT.
