I think my 6AL has little plug in limiters and mine is 6k revs from memory…
Limiting power on a V8 is simple..
1. rev limit
2. 4 barrel carb only
3. Limit the size of the brakes in terms of overall rotor diameter and original callipers. Not strictly engine but still the most effective way to control lap times!

Thankfully I am still at the learning to drive faster with what little power I have stage

4 Barrel carb wont slow them down much, its all they had in NASCAR for years, and the imposition of standard brakes isnt a good plan IMHO as all it does is play into the hands of a particular model thats blessed with superior 4 pot calipers and maybe rear discs. I would never run the original brakes on my old car again even to get into Goodwood Group 1 as its simply dangerous to allow cars to have 500bhp engines then restrict them to sliding single pot calipers and drum brakes, makes no sense to me.
