As I was gathering info on igniton systems for my truck ('98 5.2L), I had
the same question. I asked a tech guy from Jacob's Electronics about it,
and he said that the stock computer does have a rev limiter and that it is
really not necessary. If anyone out there knows what the stock rev limit
is, I would really like to know. Thanks.
