I've heard that it was limited to make sure the engine would last 100,000+ miles. Rev it as high as the race teams but don't expect it to last as long.

That's not what I am saying. I am suggesting that maybe it is possible for the ECU to damage the engine by revving it higher. Has anyone asked the race teams why they aren't going to 8400 if the car is supposedly capable of doing so? If they feel that 8400 RPM is too fast in terms of engine mechanicals, that the engine isn't going to last more than a few races at 8400 RPM, then I would have thought the red line for the street car would be even lower than it is. 900 RPM is not much of a margin in that respect.

The comment was there is a big difference in stress and wear going above 7,500 up to 8,300. That's a lot of rotating mass moving at a very high speed. While Ferrari's and others do it I don't think they are worried about making it to 100,000 miles and/or they use higher quality parts. Note the price difference in the cars... Same applies to revving a 5 DOT 0 vs a Boss 302.
For anyone with a Boss are they rev limited at 7500 or 7800?

I would like to hear some insider info on this debate.
I would also like to see Evo's tuning results!

My current Cammer 5.0 in my 2001 Cobra will go past 8000 very easy. Been past that several times. I reset the rev limiter after that. It is still pulling like mad at that range also, I would try to do 7600 to 7700 for the shifts. From what I have heard is that the new one pulls stronger on the top end and the one I currently have is a little stronger in the midrange. The ECU (2001 Cobra) runs just fine higher up, but the programming is limited as you must set it for the top set of numbers at the last rpm break point and the numbers set for the tune carry on up from there. At least that is my impressions from using the SCT tuning. I am hearing the ECU in the Boss is far better also.
