Default How to raise my rpms?

Okay might be kinda of a newb question but thats why we have the forums to help us with questions. Im currently maxing out at 6k rpms on 5spd manual and I want to know what do I need to do to max out the rpms at 6500rpms. Will nsr cams help me with that?

You will need a handheld tuner to raise your rev limiter

With everything else you've done to your car, I find it hard to believe that you haven't installed a CAI & tune combo for the 20-25 RWHP gain. And the handheld tuner will allow you to adjust the rev limiter as mentioned above. Matter of fact, when I got my tunes, Brenspeed had reset the limiter to 6800. I cranked it down to 6500. The factory setting is 6250 RPM.

EDIT: I just saw in your sig you have a JLT & LT's. So you should have a tune for the CAI or else you'd be throwing a code.

I will check with my shop that did the install. Thanks for the tip!
