Limp mode causing a hassle

[Ajmalian]

Hey guys...need a bit of help here...especially considering the fact that I don't understand a lot of the technical stuff despite the fact that my tuner explained it. I got my car up to 717hp on wheel with the help of 2.9L Whipple, GT9 cam, ported cylinder heads and forged internals.

My car is a 2010 SS, and after having my last mods done and after having gotten the car up to 717 from 608, I didn't realize what I was dealing with and like an amateur I hit the rev limit (which was programmed at 7100rpm) twice upon which the engine automatically went into limp mode. Switching the car off and back on got it back to normal however my rpm got restricted to 6200rpm. My tuner said a lot of technical stuff which I did not understand, however in short I did understand that GM ECU's for the Camaro tends to do that and what's annoying is that apparently it somewhat (don't quote me, I may have misunderstood) permanently locks itself at 6200 and does not easily allow you to retune it back to 7000+ rpm.

My tuner has said there is a solution however he does need some time to crack this.

Anybody have any idea what this is all about and if so, what is the solution to this problem? Because now at 6000rpm I'm making 660hp...I need to hit 6900 to make my 717 again

I look forward to you people's feedback.

Thanks in advance!!!

I don't think I've ever heard of this?

Your tuner missed some stuff in the tune, What software is he using, have him give me a call and I will help.

This.

My rev limiter is also set to 7100 RPM, and I bump against it fairly often since my setup makes power all the way up to it. No problems, ever.
