Rev limiter is set to 6900.

TSAEB...the reason people are "having trouble passing 7k" is that the stock PCM won't adjust fuel tables past that point so you won't have additional fuel enrichment for the extra needs.

TSAEB - I know whoever tunes it can raise the limiter, i just wasn't if i was going to need to. But i talked to the guy thats gonna tune it (a guy named jeff who used to work at Fbody Central here in MD) and he said EVERY cam (learn something new everyday )has to raise the rpm limiter even a little, it depends on the cam for how much. I wasn't sure if i needed to thats y i asked. Jeff told me i would be shifting at about 6800 rpms. To me, that just means i have an extra 1k rpms to spray .

Jeff also told me that to run that high of a rpm, i need good valve springs. SO, what do u guys reccomend for my setup? Like i said i will be shifting at 6800rpms.

THanks again, David.
