I've been thinking about raising mine, but I'm concerned about engine damage at the higher rpm's. Afterall, Ford set the redline at 6000 for a reason. Am I being paranoid?

Mine is set at 6700/6800...Steeda /SCT. As long as you are otherwise "Stock" i doubt I'd worry much about raising it. And even though there isn't a lot of extra power up there, you can "Run through" the sweet spot in the rpm curve by raising the limit a little.

There's no point to raising the redline, there's no extra power up there on these motors.

your right there is no real extra power but the rmp`s climb real quick when you have a tune so it nice to have the redline rasied so you dont hit the stock readline.....

That definitely makes sense now. Thanks.....think I'll do that too, especially since the 4.10's are going in and I'll be up there real quick.

Mine is set at 6700 but I shift around 6300-6400 rpm. Hitting the rev limiter is kinda embarrising.....but the ricer crowd might think the stuttering noise is COOL and you had to spend a few hundred bucks to find a custom part to make that sound.
