How cares how far you can spin it, strap it down to a chassis dyno and see where peak power is, then make a determination from there on how far past peak you want to shift it at. 300 past is ideal.

True it could fall off on the power whats the point of hanging it out if you don't need to

You spin it only as high as it needs.
Meaning you shift at a point where you keep the maximum average Hp between shifts, no more no less, all other methods are futile.

I thought he was asking what is a safe rpm limit to not exceed or go boom.
