Safe to Raise Rev Limiter?
1998 Corvette
PRC 2.5 LS6 Heads
228r 114LSA Cam (PRC Springs, hardened pushrods)
LS7 Lifters
Ported oil pump
LS6 intake
Full exhaust
3.90 gears, hardened shaft
In tank fuel pump
more stuff
My tuner says the car is still pulling when it hits the stock rev limiter. Can I safely increase it? 6,600? 6,800? It's a weekend cruiser that will see the track a few times per year.

as long as you upgrade the valve train with your cam swap you will be ok. (rods and springs) My 2000 trans am has a ms3 and I run it to 6800 all the time. the engine can handle it. 2300-6800 RPM Power Band. I am putting an ms4 in my vette so I will still be peaking around 6400-6800

Yeah not a good idea if you don't have upgraded rods and springs yeah some people will say it's ok I do it all the time but why take a chance could use an oil pump upgrade while your at it
Good info.
