I use to be the same way on all my stuff. Revv Limiter who needs them. One sunny afternoon was running around with my 340 Swinger with a 4spd. I missed a shift to 2nd.... Threw a Rod, dropped a valve and took out a cylinder. Blew it up bad. So from then on. I revv limit everything. Driveline breaks and you could be in the same boat in a NY Minute.
