Default Cut-off

Guys i dont really know how to explain this but bare with me.

you know when you rev the JK all the way and in the end it just stalls, but whith older jeep models and pretty much any other car it gives you a sweet cut-off (im not sure if that is even what its really called).

well i want that, and i want it BAAAAD

any idea how i CAN?

It should make the RPM needle jump up and down a few hundred RPM to keep the engine from reving too high.

A rev limiter is just that. It limits the RPM of the engine before you cause internal damage to the engine. Reving a motor without any load/weight on it can cause you to float a valve or break the crank etc... I think the Max Pro Programmer will allow you to change the rev limiter.

May I ask why you want to rev out a Jeep??

well when driving up huge sand dunes it helps keep the jeep going rather than stalling at the end.

plus its sounds cool at the drag strip
