Default Where should i get my rev limiter set with my new cam?

Im getting a tune soon, and was wondering where my rev limiter should be set. I have lid/filter/PPTB/Ported MAF/LS6 Intake/Forged 383/Headers/ 232/236 on a 112 LSA .574/.578/Comp 981/Milled 241/Ported/Cromolly PR's/ Thats about it for the engine.

I dont know how high i can rev it, but i still have the stock rev limiter.

Wait until it's tuned then get it on a dyno to see where it stops pulling. Then set it about 200 rpm below that

I didnt, but the whole engine was build at MTI in Houston, with JE Forged pistons, Eagle forged Crank, and rods, so i assume they would have?

You'll be fine to spin where you need to then and not leave anything on the table.
