that is not a good idea, that rev limiter is there to prevent internal engine damage. You can buy a piggyback system that will let you set the rev limiter. I would not set it any higher that where your peak HP is not more than 1500 rpm's at most under your rev limiter. after that, you seriously risk internal engine damage.

6750 on a dohc? it should go to 7,200 stock. You need to get a paypal account (if offered there) and buy a mopar or afx ecu from someone thats willing to ship that far. Or figure a way to order one from modernperformance or howell.

Is it possible to find a DOHC MTX PCM over there? That would at least raise the rev limiter to 7250 RPM. Peak HP is about 6500 RPM anyway though.

if you are still using the stock rods and pistons, i dont think they will hold up to high rpms....you need more then cams and a forged crank to go high rpms without any problems

did you replace the valve springs and retainers too?
