MSD 6a ignition box?

Hey guys, I just bought an MSD 6a box, not the one with the rev imiter, and I told my friend about it. He said that it's very likely that my engine could blow if it doesn'y have a rev limiter. Is there any truth to this, I thought that rev limiters were just these little things that prevented us from revving our cars past a certain RPM?

i think u can get a rev limter that piggybacks onto the msd for 50 bucks or so its not a must have but nice when your doing atuocross or drifting other then that just keep your eye on your revs

no I have no rev limiter and never had one after I installed my box with the stock coils. shouldn't be a problem if your over 3 years old and have any sort of knowledge of how to drive your car.

edit: oh yeah and even if you do go into the redline on a few occations it's not going to blow up your motor. Maybe on some v8 or something it would be a problem but rx7 are ment to rev.
