the reason I ask is because it hits 6000 on the juice almost instantly LOL I think I may bump it up to 6200.

I have mine on at 3000 and off at 6400 with my limiter set at 6600. My shift light is set at 6300 so by the time I react to shift, it hits the cutoff rpm. Plus, I lift off the gas pedal between shifts so my WOT switch cuts if off anyway.

I think most keep them at 6000 due to the stock bottom end not handling the power after that. Some go a little higher but most do not risk it. I was wonderring this myself and found the above to be true and safest. I may go higher down the road, but will play it safe for the first few hits.

How much are you spraying? I would probably set it at 6400-6500 if your limiter is at 6800.
