    Does the switch box impact the rev limiter?

    jfyi... most guys with years of experience with these v6's float test all tha modules/ rpm, idle boxes/oiler junk with any motor they don't have a personal back ground of its history.. it eliminates any problems that they can and will cause.. it does absolutely nothing ta harm tha motor.. they...
