If you are asking what at point you have the most power get to a dyno......it will tell you at what RPM you should shift.

Factory rev limit is set at 6250. Brenspeed reset mine at 6800 with their tunes. I've since reset it at 6500. And I still occasionally bounce off it if I'm not paying attention. No big deal...

I have mine set at 6300rpm with the SCT. Is there any risk going higher without a custom dyno tune? I'm using the canned 91 octane tune, sometimes I hit the limiter doing the 1/4 mile, so maybe a bump to 6400 or 6500 would help?
