Can't go past 2500 RPM! Help!

What oil temperatures are you seeing? The car goes into "limp mode" at high oil temperatures and limits the RPM to prevent damage. Chances are you just overheated the car.

While you wait on it to cool, look into installing an oil cooler. The car really needs it if you are going to drive it hard.
