Stock RPM on the cobalt is 6500. Stage 2 gm is 7200. But does any one have an 8000 or more rpm lsj? Just wondering.

 

cant go 8k unless valvetrain is done and neutral balance shafts.

 

fixed

 

What does OTTP Stage 1 raise the rpm to?

 

its an option, not required. their's is 7000, 7200, and 7400.

 

GM Stage 2 is 7000 rpm rev limiter not 7200 rpm

 

didnt gm set back the rev on the stage 2 to 6500?

 

Nope, sure didnt.

 

8000 would be ridiclous but awesome...but kind of a lot of work to go there..

 

that they did actually.

you don't need neutral shafts to run to 8k.
just to be safe is why it is mentioned

 

you obviously need upgraded valve springs and preferably titanium retainers to hit 8k.

Area - if our cars are "safe" to rev to 7500, why did gm toss the rev limiter back down to 6500?

 

warranty issues.

 

so for ppl that have the 7k rev limiter now say they go ot gm for some warranty work and for some reason they reflash it..im asuming we would get the 6500 rev limiter..and wouldn't that change the hp and tq #'s of the stage 2 kit?

 

stage 2 is validated 100 miles on the dyno. they should be conservative thats awesome. Stage 3 is good for 50k miles, then pistons start to crack. No warranty... s'ok.

Typical LSJ in the hands of a noob HP tuner (not area) = #4 piston done no miles no warranty....

 

Really? Hmm.. never heard.. good to know.. thanks.

 

a couple of the most recent s2 cars i have done have had 6500 rpm limits. this is within the last 6 months, and with recent gm flashes

 

well im glad all of you are hittin your rev limiters at 7k cause im at like 6.2k???? WTF

 

Got an LNF??? LSJ stock and staged have higher rev limiters.

 

yea i would def listen to area he knows what hes talkin about...

has anyone seen any benefits from going all the way to 8k? has anyone even done it?

and where would you get all the stuff to doit?

 

area does it all the time. but he's special....

 

short bus special

 

damn you and ur god given gift!

 

God... lol he's far from that!

 

if it's true .... that sux about the decreased rev limit on the GM Stage kits for the SS/SC. The 7K rev limit was a big part of the kit . Well, at least my 07' Stage 2 has the original Stage flash with the 7k rev limiter.

 

the stock cams only make power to 6500ish so its not a big loss.

8200 is the most you can do with stock ecu
