if you just bounce off of it, no big deal, that's the reason that it's there, to save to engine from revving higher,,,,i've hit mine several times, no biggie,,,later

The rev limiter is designed to prevent you from revving your engine too high. I don't know the RPM limit on the stock limiter, but it basically limits you to a certain RPM. Like you can only go to 6000 RPM's. If you you get an aftermarket box with a higher limit you may be able to go higher in the RPM range, but doing this could result in engine damage. The limiter actually reads your RPM's similar to a tach and starts decreasing the level of spark once you hit the limit.
