Autodelta are now pleased to be able to introduce a new engine remap programme for the Alfa Brera and Spider 3.2 V6 Q4 versions, which delivers increased power and torque. Available power is increased by 14 bhp (to 274 bhp), while more importantly torque is increased by 23 lb.ft (32Nm). Acceleration times have also been improved as has optimum top speed. This new remap programme, thus delivers enhanced all-round improvements. By making major changes to the electronically controlled continuous cam timing on both the inlet and exhaust camshafts, the car’s throttle behaviour and overall power delivery have been vastly improved. Additionally by extensive fuelling and ignition timing programme changes, fuel consumption characteristics are improved by up to 5 percent running on 95 or 98 octane petrol. Another area which Autodelta’s engineering team has additionally improved is the low rev limit delivered in 1st gear, which is set at 6,200rpm, to improve the 0-60 mph (0-100km/h) acceleration. This rev limit has now been raised to 6,800 rpm by the remap programme.

Just read the above at Autodelta, they have changed the rev limit from 6200rpm to 6800rpm in 1st gear, seems a big change to me (naieve that i am granted) why would alfa set it so low, one assumes there must still be some safety margin, autodelta would not put the engine at risk....?
Rev Limiter, why so low?
