Is there a reason you want a higher rev limit? unless your engine is suitably specced ie cams/TB`s etc you wont get anymore power.

If it's standard then the standard limiter is it really or else they would have made it higher.

A safe rev limit on an F1 engine is about 20k rpm.

its an X16XE in a nova.

safe rev limit on standard internals is about 8.5k (in short bursts), if you've got ARP rod bolts

Broster revs to 8650, with a standard (but balanced) bottom end.

rev limit depends on where its making max power. pointless having a 8000 rpm limit whaen its producing max power at 6500 rpm.

for the sake of 80 quid fit arp's if going over 7000 rpm. sbd rollers are a good idea as well.
