I've heard that some scca racers have bumped up their red line on stock internal 2.5L SVT's to 8K with no issues!

But that's what I hear, so I'll take that with a grain of salt. But if it is true, then surely the 3L can reproduce same 8K redline with more durability.

Well, my car's 2.5 rev'ed to 7700 (new fuel cutoff) with no problems. I haven't broken in my 3.0 yet, but it sure feels like it'll rev that high also.

Hmmm...that is about where I want my redline to be when I'm done with my 3L swap. Which way did you go about bumping the fuel cutoff point?

It's a Superchip. The now defunct SCA had a chipped burned, and asked that the soft limit be set to 7600 with a fuel cutoff at 7700. I plan on having a local Diablosport dealer burn a chip on the dyno once my car is broken in. It'll baseline at SHOshop on the stock computer settings, and then I'll take it to Diablosport afterwards and see if they can do anything with the car.
