I would not raise the rev limiter on a stock motor.
1) There is very little (if any) to be gained by doing so.
2) The stock valvesprings aren't very good above 6200rpm (which is what the stock limiter is set for).
Not worth risking the damage. Your money would be much better spent buying some simple bolt-ons first rather than worring about tuning changes on a stock motor.

No point in playing with fire on a stock LS1. You're money would be much better spent on a 3400-3800 stall torque converter and a transmission cooler

Leave the rev limiter at the stock setting until you get some aftermarket valvesprings.
