Default How high should I rev?

I have a fully forged 404 ls2 on a t-56.
I have no idea where i should be revving to and what i should set my limiter at.

240/250 .620s 113+4 cam, fast 102/102, ported l92s, comp 921s.
11:1 CR.

According to one of my logs and what i've heard, I think my peak torque is around 6400ish.

Currently have my limiter set at 7 grand.

I very much doubt your peak torque is at 6400 dude.

with a forged bottom end 7k should be no problem. 6400 is probably were your making peak hp. torque should be around 4800

I would guess that cam will peak power anywhere between 6500-6800 RPM, so setting a limiter at 7000 would work pretty well. Being that you have a built bottom end it should be able to take those rpms pretty easily.
