Rev limiter issues

Circle track racing : I have a 1996 Grand Am GT 3100 sfi - the problem is after about 6 laps the engine rev limiter kicks in and it seems to kick the transmission into neutral ---- is there a way to adjust or bypass the rev limiter? or is there a kit available to set the rev limiter higher?

    Hello I race a 1996 cavalier on a dirt track and I have been having some issues that don't seem to bad.the car will run fine for 4 laps depending on how much I get on it then it will just loose power I...
    What kind of air box do you have? After racing in dirt for a few laps, is the air filter getting clogged up? I would say that or possibly intaking in hot engine air (cool air atomizes the fuel better). I'd start there... then move on to fuel issues.

    Anyone else ever have problems with the power steering pump not working until the engine is warmed up? Sometimes the pump will not work until the engine is at operating temp. doesn't always happen, but is unpredictable. I can't tell if the pump is starting to fail or if it is being caused by something else. The pump is attached to the intake manifold so it looks like it is vacuum operated.
