OBDI PCM - Past 7K
Will the stock PCM be able to control the motor past 7K? I know the tables only go up to 7K but I would like to turn the new motor to 7500. Can it do it and if so how?

I checked my datamaster logs, It shows RPM climbing to 6375rpm then it stops and flatlines until it drops below 6375rpm on every log... dont know if Datamaster 3.4.1 can read past 6375?
Some of the other parameters seem to climb at least a couple hundred rpm past that . Im not saying the PCM wont keep going to 7000 im saying My Datamaster 3.4.1 doesnt display it.

OK. So from what I am hearing, If I want to spin the motor to 7500 RPM, I need an aftermarket computer. Can I get away with 7K to start so I don't have to incur the expense right away?

Well for the added cost of an aftermarket PCM, I can build a 396 instead of a stock crank 355 and bring the RPM range inside the 7K limit of the stock PCM. I guess I will be adding a post about the Golen Shortblocks and what people think of them.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Another thing to think about is the amount of force being applied to the rotor assembly. I overspun my OPTI and the rotor flew apart. Car stopped dead in its tracks. Towed it home, pulled the OPTI apart and there were little pieces of rotor all over the place. It knocked out the sensor and metal wheel as well. I was running a Delteq so I replaced the sensor and wheel and didn't put a rotor back in. Worked like a champ. So all I'm saying is that I don't think the design of the OPTI was meant to handle that kind of force. Just my experience, I could be wrong. Good luck, Rob.

Here's a post by someone running the Opti to 8,000rpm, but not without problems. Point is, he indicated he did this with a stock 92/93 PCM. The problem was the limited programming above 7,000rpm, and the Opti's tendency to disintegrate rotors.
