   Apparently it's 7250Rpm. However a few people seem to have it limit at ~7500Rpm (me included). Anything over 7k is a waste of time though any way

   Well, this figure of 7250Rpm floats around as being the factory limit but the couple of times I've been up to the limit it was deffo higher than 7250Rpm and looked to be more like 7500Rpm.

   7250rpm as standard which is fine on standard cams as peak power is around 6k. If you change your cams you may need to increase the rev limit depending on where peak power comes in
