Default BTR Stage 4 max rpm?
going to install this into a c5z next week and get it tuned the following week. What are most people spinning this cam to? Stock lifters and rod bolts.

I personally wouldn't spin a SBE past 6700. That cam will make power beyond that but...

Mine peaks at about 6700, and my shift light comes on at 6500. But I am also spraying on top of that and running it to 6500. 99 SBE.
