Default how high should i set my revs

I am going to get my car tuned in the next few days. I did a lot of high end power work and redid the valvetrain. I was going to increase my rev limiter from 6200rpm to 6500rpm but does anyone think i could go higher? Like 6750 or 7000rpms.

we don't have enough cam to warrant winding it that high. I would set it maybe 300 RPM higher than you intend to have it shift.

Personally, I would not go higher that 6200 rpm's if was me. That should be plenty...

You know what? I didn't see that you changed the springs so 6500 should be fine. Plus, you have Oil Resticted Pushrods so those help contain valve float a bit too. You did a good job doing things the right way. I say go for it! Let us know how the car feels.
