Default what kinda revs?

I'm gonna have my cardynotuned perty soon.. I just bought it. its currently set with a rev limiter at 7000rpms. I'm not sure where i should be shifting at, I'mguessin at about 6800 based upon the dyno chart (402 rwhp, 400 rwhp at 6500 rpm) butI really dont know.

I am not very familiar with these motors, should I have my limiter bumped higherwhen I have the tune done, or am I already at about the max I want to be at?

Also... does someone have a link for me to where i can look at info on my GTP stage 2 heads? Who makes them? I did a search on the net, and all I foun was grand prix gtp stuff lol.

I appreciate the info.

Sorry for my ignorance, I'm new! I'm learnin

Something to keep in mind as well, these motors aren't designed to turn 7000 rpm in their stock form. You can for a while, but you'll eventually stretch/break a rod bolt or have other issues.

Also keep in mind that unless you're using a shiftlight, you're actually shifting 200-300 rpm higher than the tach shows. The tach has a low bus priority under WOT.
