When i am doing a little spirited driving I never let the rpm's get above 4000k. Am i being a wuss? Should i drive it to 5.5k rpm's occasionally? What are your "spirited" driving habits?

To show you i have a sense of humor i will bash myself. "Son it isn't spirited driving if your shifting at 4k".

So you're saying a C5 will actually shift at LESS than 4000?

You gotta wind it up to full song once in a while or else the LS1 will turn into a Briggs & Stratton over time. Go on... you won't hurt it. The rev limiter is there for a reason.

I hit the rev limiter at least once each time I drive my car.

I used to run mine to redline EVERYDAY for the first three gears, I stopped doing so when gas got to 3.90 for supreme. It will not hurt it at all.

Your ECM will learn your driving habits.My 2000 FRC wad in the Valvoline Dyno display at the National drags a few weeks ago.I'd been driving pretty easy since I bought it in Jan. They did 13 runs on the dyno running it up to 6000-6100 RPM the ECM learned that it was going WOT and adjusted timing nd air/fuel as it went and gained on each set of pulls. It went from 323.5hp/324.76tq on the first to 338.92hp/345.91tq on the last. Two days later went to test and tune for my firs time ever with this car cut a 13.4 /108 hitting the rev limiter in 3 gears on the last (5th) pass I had a good clean pass of 13.08/110.23....Yes it actually helps to LET IT RIP sometimes!!

Not too often, 6500 even in second is way over speed limit.
