Default MSD 6AL2 questions

Hey guys, last year I bought a MSD 6AL2 ignition box. I never ended up installing it on the car yet so before I do I have a couple questions about it. My first question is wher is everyone mounting their ignition boxes. (battery is not relocated)? Second question is what should I set the engine rev limit to, to keep it safe. I had the stock limiter tuned out by pcmforless in anticipation of using the 6AL2 for my rev limiter. Im thinking about 6800?

No rev limiter huh, you like to live dangerously. I've seen them mounted next to the fuse blocks a few times, but it's your choice.

That is where I had mounted my 6a, next to the CAI under the relay panel there. Enough room to mount it flat, at least there was with the K&N CAI.

Thats where i was thinking to mount it to, it looks like you can make it look really clean and easy to get to right there. And ss. slp. ls1, I would have kept the limiter or had it adjusted if I wasnt lazy and got the box mounted in when I planned to.
