too many type ii over revs?

I wonder if log can be added to the 996 program to capture the over rev rpm? It would be a nice feature to have if your car has been modified.Originally Posted by GT3 Chuck
I'm not sure the rev limiter not keeping up is the problem...it is entirely possible that the momentum created by all the rotating mass (especially in a awd) when the wheels break traction at high rpm could result in a mechanical over-rev...but as you say, same result, a type two is registered...if the rpm redline can be safely upped to 7,000 then the type II over-revs shown would not be as serious...it is too bad that the 996 doesn't log the rpm range of the over-rev like the 997 cause there is no way to tell if that over rev was at 7,000 or 8,500 rpm

since a Type II is supposed to be a mechanical over-rev I am curious as to how you can register a type II by breaking traction since the rev limiter should preclude the engine from going past redline
I guess I need some english language classes as this sounds like you don't think type 2's can be caused by anything but a mechanical...the links I added provide evidence which disputes this claim...not just internet conjecture. It was you that took one sentence out of the links I posted (which you called my thread...a bit condescending as well...) since a Type II is supposed to be a mechanical over-rev I am curious as to how you can register a type II by breaking traction since the rev limiter should preclude the engine from going past redline

. If you post something without supporting evidence, just your hypothesis, be prepared to be challenged...I suppose you interpret LOL differently than me.A Type 2 is an o... (from your own thread) LOL
Yes. Again, I think too much is made of this.
Some tuners reset the redline at 7400+ I can't see how an over rev or 100 to 6701 RPM is scary.
