LQ9 Shortblock RPM Limits?
Hey guys, what RPM are safely truning your stock bottom ended LQ9s?
Im getting ready to do a cam swap and the valvetrain will be fine on limit speed. If I end up with a valvetrain that will spin 7000+ RPM, in control, Im not going to spin it there if the bottom end cant take it.
What are you guys shifting at?

i shift mine @ 6800 and the rev limiter is set @ 7250, I hit rev limiter only at the track when im doing the burnouts, its held mine, mine is stock bottom end with only comp cam springs and hardened pushrods... so I dont think you NEED rod bolts and such, by the way on my old 5.3 I had the same shiftpoints and rev limiter on that also, so go ahead dont be scared!!
