3:50 I swear I remember something about Rob saying how that the car needed to reach past the 500 mile range before the computer puts the redline limit back to norm... anyone else remember that in a previous vid?

[@ifirebolti2789]

Only watched a couple minutes so far, but if the mileage displayed at 3:36 is accurate (225 miles), then the reason the rpm is limited is because there is a built-in/factory system designed to allow the engine to be ‘broken in’ before you go nuts. So that the engine can y’know, get some miles on it, make sure everything is working & broken in (no expert on the reasons why). As evidence of this, TJ Hunt had a similar thing with his C8 when he was driving it back to his shop, where the rpm was limited for the first 500 miles (I believe it was 500). It just changed whilst he was driving once he hit 500 miles, allowing him to hit max rpm etc

[@meadowz555]

The Corvette C8 has a break-in period of 500 miles, during which the 6.2L LT2 V8 engine is torque limited. The vehicle's rev limit is also lowered at this time, so the digital gauge cluster displays the redline as being at 4,500 rpm

Tach is limited by the break-in restriction. Once you reach break-in point, these restrictions are lifted and the whole gauge cluster changes with extra options. Although, you probably still won't get to reach 10,000 rpm. :)

[@sndwav2049]

Low redline due to break-in period having not expired yet. You only have 225mi on the clock. At 500 miles, you enter full power mode and the rest of the rev band opens up. You're supposed to baby it until break-in is over.

[@capnthepeafarmer]

ROB, DANGER TO MANIFOLD!!! I don't see a milling machine in your shop, so I CAUTION you about using end mills and reamers in your drill press do do anything precise. Drill chucks have TOO much runout and the drill press is NOT square enough to align those dowels, it's a quick way to destroy those parts. If you try that on your drill press you're going to have issues aligning all those dowels and they will bind. To get the most precise and accurate holes you will want to put those irons and housings on a milling machine and finish those holes with a boring head. Precision dowels and locating holes need a tolerance of about 20 microns (That's hole tolerance AND hole location), drill chucks have run out of over 70-100 microns. If you care about the alignment of the engine find someone with a milling machine and a boring head, you'll be able to pick up the stock Mazda dowel pins as a reference and match all the holes within that tolerance. PLEASE heed the warning Rob, talk to Nads at Built 2 Apex I'm sure has a fixture already setup for such a task.

[@blackpanda7028]

Rob Damn the Rev limiter will change over time once the car has more miles. I forgot how much miles but TJ Hunts C8 changed when he hit a certain mile.

Rob the low rev thing is a brake in periot it goes away after 500 milesand yours being 200miles its not broke in fully (learnt that from tj hunts road trip with his c8)

[@SMPlayerSlayer]

Those GPS sensors over the tires are probably for the auto raising of the front end to avoid scratching the front splitter. It's gps memory programable so that if there is a steep curb you have to drive over a lot, you don't destroy your front end going over it or trying to drive super slow at an angle.

[@jordanrelkey]

[@juelbaird]
