I found out something interesting a few weeks ago while racing my 99' 318 5-speed Dak, there seems to be a rev limiter at 4900 rpm's in first gear only. I would hit the limiter every time until I figured it out. In other gears the limiter comes in at 5400 rpm. When I race my truck, I shift at 4800 1st-2nd, 5300 2nd-3rd, 5400 3rd-4th, and let it wind out in 4th. My best time of 15.08 @ 92.02 was with this technique (The temp was 68F, my previous best of 14.68 @ 96.7 was with perfect traction, a ram air setup, and 27 F temps.).

I installed my Transgo shift kit today, and now if I stand on it, it bounces of the rev limiter in first gear. I think some others have had this problem. What did you do to cure this problem?
