Default Rev Limiter Question

I am putting in a comp 228/232 .588 .592 112 + 4 cam with TSP stage 2.5 5.3L heads. I have no dyno around here, so I am sending the computer into wait4meperformance for a tune to get it close. Where should I set the rev limiter at with this cam? Thanks

I would say 6800 or 7000 depending on how high you want to spin it. with 6600 you are still leaving some power on the table. If you want to be safe for now set it at 6600, and wait till you get it on the dyno to actually see where the power is at.

6600 should be fine to set it at. If i had to guess that cam is going to make peak power between 6200 and 6400rpm being on a 112+4.

how fast can you spin these bitches on stock rod bolts? 6600 is a **** load of revs in my mind. I mean i see it done all the time on here but i was just thinking how fast is to fast?

mine has hit 7000 over 30 tmes and I don't have any problems. It sees 6800 all the time.

I didn't see the 112+4- you would be good to set it at 6600 then.

My setup peaks at 6400, and I have my shift-lite set to 6700, and the limiter above that.

With yours I would set the limiter to 6800. If you don't have a shift-lite get one and set it to 6600. That should be pretty close til you actually see the graph.
