ahh i see your point now, so would the best path to go down to be a dynotune to see where the car still makes power and if it is still making power at redline, bump it up a bit, but if it isnt, then its ok? the cam i will be running will be comparable to the ZO6 cam

Also, I want to add that the rod bolts were updated for the 2001 and 2002 cars for use in LS6 motors which came with a stock 6500 rev limit. I feel pretty safe spinning mine up to 6600 (6800 revlimit).

The Stock rev limit is 6200...doesent matter if its an auto or manual. I'm not sure why that guy said 5800?? My stock auto shifts at like 58-59 according to the tach. Thunder racing told me when i install my TR224 112 cam with Ti retainers and 918's to set my rev limiter between 66-6800, and have my shift points at 65-6600. I dont know why the would tell me this if they did not think the bottom end could hold it.
