What is proper way to set rev limiter?

Well how do you mean??? Set your rev limiter to whatever you want.. ???

I can't remember offhand but it's in Edit>Engine>Fuel Control or Cutoff or something...

Anyway, you'll find a tab says RPM vs Gear, click it, it'll pop up a table and it'll show you what rpm the fuel cutoff activates, and when it resumes.

I dunno bout A4 guys... I set my shift light at 6700 (means i'm probably shifting close to 6800) so i set my limiter (cutoff) to 6850 and then had the fuel reactivate at 6800 that way there's a very short lag period of when my fuel returns (ie. if i miss a shift it won't wait tell the motor revs back down too much to reengage fuel, that way i can just jam it back in gear and keep hard on it)

I would imagine that you wanna set your rev limiter about 100-200 rpms above where you set your shift point so it's really up to you... You're stock limiter is at ~6200 and stock redline is 6000 so that should give you an idea...

Set the rev limiter based on what you know about the
valvetrain's capability. Particularly cam profile and the
springs (avoiding float) and the pushrods (avoiding
bent, which is a problem with over-revved stockers).
If you haven't upgraded hardware then staying under
6200 is probably a good idea (and on a stock setup
you should be fading by then anyway).

Then set shiftpoints to keep off it.
