Can I rev to 7k safely?
Dyno'd the car yesterday and it was still climbing when they shut it down each run at 6K. I'm very curious to see what the car will make if it revs up to 7K. With my current mods can I rev to that kind of rpm reliably? Or atleast 6500 for that matter. And if not what else needs to be done internally?

I usually shift at 6k, mostly because after 6k it sounds like a screaming banshee and that along with my "scared" mindset forces me to shut it down/shift lol.
