Rev Limiter, someone tried to hit me
Ok so i pulled out of a lot and some guy was coming, i miss judged his speed. Im 90% sure the Edit sped up and tried to hit me so i nailed it, my truck i swear it fish tailed. Any way when i realized what it was doing i looked at the tach and it looked like it was coming down from 3600rpm and the truck was keeping it there in the rev limiter and then came down by it self .....
I have the smarty on 3+timming and its not the revo or what ever, just mild.
any harm? why so hi in the rpm? the highest i have seen it is 3200rpm with the tires not spinning. Im just a little worried thanks

It's because your tires were probably spinning, you won't hit 3600 by just punching it unless you have the Smarty set up for it. Which in that case you will need some springs and a cam, along with a couple other supporting mods.
I raced a buddy from a stop light yesterday, in 2wd. About 15 feet from the stop light was a puddle of water on the road. I hit that puddle with my foot all the way in the firewall, tires broke loose and I hit 4k RPM's. I thought for sure a piston would of kissed the valve, no damage done though. Thankfully.
