Default RedLine Raise question

How high do you guys think the red line in a 02 C5 be raised on motor with AFR heads (921 springs…etc) and a completely redone bottom end (except crankshaft)?

Timing chain is the weak link...

If you haven't put in a dampner or a heavy duty chain, you are at risk for a broken timing chain if you raise your rev limit.

I hear people are using the LS2 timing chain, it is much beefier than the LS1 chain.
