thats a nice safe limit.
i turn mine 7K knowing something could happen. but thats where its consistant and lays down an ET.
some guys go higher. with the boost, id keep it down if thats where the motor makes its power.

motor is stock shortblock. milled ls6 heads.
235 237 599 602 cam.
car is 3400# raceweight.
it has all the suspension converter/gear to make it work and be a great combo for me.
lots of efforts in getting it to go faster.
this same setup started life at 7.30's at 94mph.
converter, gear, and just playing with suspension.
its been fun.
