safe rpm limit on stock valve train?
i revved to 7500 no problems. i revved to 8000 on stock cams and had collapsed lifter after a while. my car was a 2001 had the version 1 lifters tho. there are 3 total revisions. i think the latest ones are much less prone to failure.

I agree with 7200, although, I was conservative and set it to 7000 on my AEM. Can maybe get more like Prodigy but then you'd be pushing the limits. 8,000 is way pushing the limits but fun. I would also question why you would need to rev as high. I am assuming that you have big turbos and need to stay within full boost on the gear change

when looking at stock torque curves, it looks like an upside down U and the HP doesn't rise anymore with more rpms after 7k.
Even if you could rev past 7000 the torque falls so fast is it worth it?

I was actually very surprised at how low the rev limiter was when i bought the car until I looked at some stock dynos.
Todd at Promotive has mine set at 7,500 rpm .
I was concerned and he assured me no problems with valve train.
I am glad I have that rev limit for my 1st to 2nd power shift due to the large drop in RPMs between the gear ratio spread.

And your motor and valvetrain is stock?
