Hold on there young fella....

The MSD rev limiter *DOES NOT* do *ANYTHING* in the event of a missed
shift. Unless you positioned it to take the shrapnel from the exploding
crank... 

It does "soft limit" the revs if you head for infinity and beyond
by keeping your foot on the gas. Assuming that the engine would pull
that high anyway (I've seen many, many rev limiters set for limits
way higher than the engine would pull. sad.)

But it's not an old-fashioned "governer" that keeps the absolute revs
to be low a particiular limit by mechanical means. No way. No how.
