Default BAMA Race Tune big ?

I recently was checking what was my max wot rpm with the 93 race tune. I saw that it's either 6.5krpm or 6.6k rpm. Is that safe? I know our redline's are about 5.7k rpm. And does anyone else see their max wot rpm go up to this with the race tune? Thanks again for the help!

going anywhere near 6600 can be devistting to your car lol.

shift at or around 6000 if ur at the track.

my motor has seen 7000rpm, and it was on accident in first gear, at 9psi of boost. im lucky its in one piece.

If your planning to shift at 5,750 you should adjust your limiter a bit higher because if you hit the limiter rev the car slow down so much that you loose a lot of time, especially at the track.

That's why mine is set at 6k and I try to shift around 5,750..

A shift light set at that rpm would be the best for sure

I have an auto transmission, that's why I was very surprised to see my rev limiter in drive that high w/the race tune.
