RE: GTV6 L-jet mods

["Michael S. Sweigart" <ms@domain.elided>]

I run it all day and night at 8k rpm, even when just going to get a gallon
of milk at the local 7-11. I don't even warm it up more than 30 seconds. In
fact, once it starts in the morning I peg the throttle to the floor to clear
out the pipes and hold it there til the smoke clears...

But seriously, if it hits let's say 7k- does that mean the ECU has been
modified in some way? The PO did all kindsa things to this car that my
mechanic is discovering- possibly pistons, head work, definitely cams,
transaxle swap, and the NOS is obvious. There was a rev limiter that I
already removed from the car but it tachs past 6400 pretty quickly.

So does "rpms past 6400" mean a modded ECU or can we chalk this up as a
tachometer/ecu/alfa quirkiness reason?

Uhh, yeah.  The stock ECU limits it to 6400RPM.  Doesn't running out
of tachometer ever bother you?  I've been told 7400RPM is a good
place to stop revving a 2.5 V6.
