How high has the bar been raised?

LMFAO yea I understand xD I didn't explain myself correctly and yes I would agree as mines a DD aswell and well what were your gains at the drag strip + what were your jumbers on the dyno with your rev limiter at 8k?

numbers listed in the sig. i got the dyno sheet saved somewhere i'll have to find it. i really dont think they even cracked 7600 when dynoing it if i remember right. i could be wrong though.

edit: checked my sheet they took it to 7800. then the data stopped. kinda seems to drop off power wise past about 7400 though. maybe he was backing off then as well.

I have yet to really see anyone pick up any power by going to 8k. I really dont see what the big fuss is about with raising the rev limiter.

i really dont see a reason power wise but the stock rev limiter on the non-nismo Z i wanted lifted for racing reasons. there was a few times where i would be close to 7400 (stock limiter setting) and i would feel the ECU cutting in. i didnt like it so it got moved to let me drive like i wanted to without interference.

If it is just to give you a little more space between your optimal shift point, and banging off the limiter I guess that somewhat makes sense. However, I dont think taking it above that on a regular basis is a good idea at all, especially when you factor in that your not making any more power.

shhhh dont give away my secrets lol

yea i agree but as i said before i dont run it up that high ever really. i may go above 7700 here and there if i shift late for some reason but never holding it as to cause damage.

It might be if you can raise it, maintain power, and when you shift to the next gear you end up in a better part of the rev range. Allowing you to maximize power better, but at the risk of revving higher.
