   std limit is 6250, no point in raising it unless the engine/ecu is modified.
   
   what engine mods are you planning ?
   
   u can get it higher with remap, but ir wont give you any more usable power
   
   if it was gong to be a track car, id concentrate on suspension and weight reduction to start with.

   as above spend more on suspension brakes, pads + good fluid something like 5.1 and weight reduction and tires!!

   without cams and a remap there is no point in raising the rev limit.

   Concentrate on boosting the torque and midrange before you start going for the top end power.

   as kam said tbh
   
   the only real benefit you will get is that in shorter straights you can just keep revving rather than shift up then back down for a corner
   and tbh unless your competing and that 0,000001 of a second counts i wouldnt
