should i raise my rev limiter while i can? X1 cam, stock heads, STOCK BOTTOM END (never changed anything), manly springs, mti push rods, manly retainers.
GEtting new tune rev limmiter is set at 6700 shift light is at 6500. should i rais the limiter while i can? if so to what (i was thinking like 6900 and set light at 6700) or is this to high for stock bottom end. cI drive this car every day. race once a month.

Where does the cam peak? See what it does on they dyno, and set the rev limiter accordingly. Or just set the rev limiter higher, and take it to the track and see what changing your shift rpms does to your times.
but can the bottom end take a 6900 rev limiter. I rarly hit it, I have a two step for launching, and shift good, so unless a major **** up happends, I should not hit thew limiter but It will be comeing rite up to the 6900 mark? how bad is this on stock bottm?
My rev limiter is at 6900, stock bottom end. Mine's an 01 though, supposedly better rod bolts. That's where your main concern is IMO. Severaly people take their stock bottom ends to 7200 with the T-rex, so it can be done. It's just risky.

With upgraded ARP or Katech rod bolts? 7000-7200 RPM. The stock rods are actually pretty good, and that's what you have to worry about in the bottom end at that RPM. I wouldn't go over 7000, though, unless you have a T-Rex.
Look at your dyno graph. The X1 should peak around ~6400 RPM. I would think that it carries to 6700~6800. I'd set the limiter at 6900 if that were the case and shift at 6700.
