If anyone doesn't want theirs I'll take it off thier hands lol

That would scare the shit out of me holding 7500+ rpms for more than a second or 2. My point was tailored to drag racing. I can definitely understanding holding higher RPMS much much longer in road racing scenarios but still scares me, when I see that gauge go red I shift!

Isn't there something with the engine that will shut down the motor or starts triggering knock if its held at 7k+ for more than 10 seconds? I might be speaking out of my ass at that one. Just something I thought I heard.

If you shift when you see red, than the Boss IM isn't for you. Exactly why I got rid of mine. It makes me cringe when I hear the motor spin that high. That's just me though. Plus, with the MT82...it doesn't like to be shifted that high. Remote shifting transmissions are prone to gear lock outs at high RPMs.

Ya no intentions from me to get it at this time.

Can you give more information on this and how this applies to remote shifting vice a regular tranny?
