Rev Limiter on '87 Corvette

[Mike Rolica]

I can tell you exactly in the code where the rev limiter is... 
At c3af the value should be ff..... this should be the fuel shutoff point
255x1 =255mph
C3b0 should be 62..or x=655368120/(ex numb cyl)
Or 10 031rpm

The restore rmph is at c3b2 value fe=254 or 254mph
Restore rpm is at c3b3 value 67 or 103 so
65536*120/(103*8)= 9544rpm

		I don't know about the 87 specifically.  On my 93 LT1 f-body
the rev
		limiter is using something called "reference time" which
roughly seems
		to translate to 1/4 of the time for a revolution.   This
value is what
		the data value in the chip was compared against.  The
reference time
		was also included in my cars standard data stream.   This is
also the
		value that RPM is figured from.   I suspect that there is
something
		similar on the 87 also, so look at where rpm comes from and
then see
		what is using that.
