Well, I've been running this 4 banger for about five years now and I'm still learning things about it. I went "muddin'" yesterday, and that thing can sing a hot tune when my foot is in the throttle body!
Since I was otherwise occupied at the time, I didn't check the tach whilst enjoying the music. This brings me to the question: does the 2.5 have a rev limiter in the TBI version? Or do you just wind it 'til it can't suck any more air? Just wonderin".
