Exactly. I was just ponting out that the technology is viable.

This is the better approach and is designed for the driver who hits
the rev limiter regularly -- almost like a shift light. The 2002tii
limiter
is to prevent engine damage only.
For the tii, the distributor rotor is about $20. The MSD unit is a
few
dollars more. Intended use should dictate your course of action.
