How high are you spinning these little guys? Or more so, what do you have your rev-limiters set at? and what rpm are you shifting at?

A4 and have it set to shift at 6000, but putting heads and a SS4000 on soon, will probably raise that when I get retuned.

Your shift point will vary based on the full combination and the specific cam profile.

A 224 cam can peak at a wide range of RPM based on lobe design, lsa, advance/retard, etc

My pulls stop at 6,700 thats where the limiter is set. Based on the attached dyno sheet. Should I move my rev-limiter up?

Your hp increases less than 5hp between 6200-6700. Id leave the rev-limiter where it's at.
I'd probably shift it around 6400-6500.
