Umm well, Mine could always have the governor removed from a previous owner I guess, but I track-run my KA24E in a 90FB and Im always around 6k rpm without a problem

i have talked to about 4 people and they have all said that there is a sensor for 4th and 5th gear that cuts the engine when u exceede more than 5000 rpm so thats prob it

I have read a few post about the governer on 4th and 5th and i have talked to a few friends that have had problems when they removed the sensors but again this is only stuff i have either read or been told.
