Im not sure since i have an lsj but i believe i read some
of the lnf guys said they no lift shift at 5.8-5.9 so im guessing u should be shifting around 6k.

I think stock it was set at 6250. You had to nls by 6k with the laggy tach or you bounce off the stock rev limiter.

I've heard a lot of stories of bad things when you raise the Rev limiter on our cars

Stock is around 6200 or 6300. I believe GMS1 raised it to 6500. I wouldn't go higher than that. People were breaking stuff.

im pretty sure you have to retune to set the rev limiter lower. HPT or maybe trifecta

On the stock turbo there's no point to revving g past 6100. Unless you have E, then 6500.

I would get a retune to lower that limiter tho, you don't want your car bouncing off 7200 in first gear pulls or launches.
