let a friend drive my Supercharged car and he went from 55ish in forth down to 2nd gear and floored it.. next thing i know it was bouncing off rev limit.. Could this have over rev'ed my engine? Its a 2000 with about 20k miles supercharged at 15psi.

Car seemed to run fine the rest of the way home


Thanks

You're fine

Yea 2nd gear goes to 62mph. You should be fine.

to answer your question.. yes that caused your revs to bounce... 4 to 2 + SC do that.. since the SC will kick in hard make your car accelerate like a boss..

in short words.. when you down shifted from 4 to 2 your revs got almost to your redline...

I never let anyone drive my cars.

Yeah its just a car and he bought my old one off me. So i wasnt worried to much but yeah i know what u mean

No your fine. You can't over rev when in the gear and hit rev limiter. That's what it's there for. Don't let him drive it again though haha.

yeah he did it so fast just wasnt sure if it was under 9k when he hit 2nd or what i just heard it tach out and was like

Yeah as long as you were going under 65 or so I'm sure your fine.
