Question about gears and 1/4mi runs.
I was at the track a few weeks ago and was trapping at 117mph with just 380whp on LS1 intake and TB, with G5X4 cam, 4.10's, full exhaust, and a lid.
I got done with my car today and now I have 92/92 combo (car feels amazing), new pulley, new Rolling rockers. I am also planning on adding FTRA kit.
My problem is that when I was crossing 1/4mi mark, I was almost at red line already, or so it felt like. I'm afraid that with my new mods, I will be hitting a rev limiter since I hope to be trapping at least 120mph.
My question is, how far can I raise my rev limiter on stock/untoched bottom end of my 99 Z28 with 50k mi? I want to keep it on the safe side and not blow anything up, but I also don't want to be shifting into 5th at the track.
Any input would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

G5X4 peaks around 6300-6400rpm, and on the dyno they revved it up to 6800 and hp was barely dropping. Now with 92/92 it should peak even higher cuz it was chocking with LS1 intake and TB.
