'88 10V rev limit?

[Ben Swann]

Huw,

I found the rev. limit on the NG to be around 7200 RPM - wish it were higher
'cause mine was still pulling hard.

Unchipped MC-1 is usually at 6500  and chipped around 6800k.

The earlier CIS systems (USA, anyway), had a fuel pump relay based
cutoff that was totally obvious at about 6500 rpm (brick wall).  On my
'89 90Q I have never found a rev limit, and have spun it up (no load) to
a hair over 7k just "to check."  Not sure why this is.
