Is taking it to 6k rpm once in awhile ok?

It's hard to avoid approaching the rev limiter in second...it wants to keep going! It took me a while to shift properly at WOT in second gear. After 4000rpm, it feels like a rocket and it's difficult to stay on task and watch the tach. It's the reason I got louder exhaust; with the windows up, there was no feedback that I was getting close to the limit. I'm even thinking about installing a shift light. This car just wants to go...and go...

Aint that the truth. On the new 5.0L Coyotes, once you hit 3K RPMs, the engine revs very fast towards redline; the tach needle climbs like a rocket and it is very hard not to hit the rev limiter once you are turning above 6K RPMs.

6800? Seriously? With my old tuner I set my rev limiter right on the factory redline. I should have my new Bama SCT tuner in a couple of days. What would be the highest it should be set at? I'd like to keep the engine in one piece, so whats the best setting for the limiter?
