   I'd agree with you if we're talking about a street driven truck, but if
you race, it could be helpful. For example, I've got the MP PCM on my truck,
so my rev limiter is at about 6300 now. I sure don't want my engine to rev
that high with the stock valvetrain though, so a ~5500rpm rev limiter would
be handy. (Especially if your engine is un-naturally aspirated.)
