I've had the car a month and have hit the rev limiter a few times on the way up. What gets me is that the car is still pulling right up to the limiter. FWIW I read somewhere that the true reading at the rev limiter is just shy of 9k, so shouldn't be a problem.

LOL jeez man, i wanted to search specifically on s2ki, since google would give you tons of results about rev limiting other engines and the F20 ain't no simple engine!
if you include "site:s2ki.com" at the end of a google search, it will only search s2ki.com

and btw - I hit the rev limiter all the time - especially in my AP1. Never had a problem.

That's what the rev limiter is there for. You're fine.
