I would avoid doing so. I'm not sure what your mods are but i doubt your car is making power where your factory rev limitor is. So there is no need to rev the engine that high.
Yeah, its not necessary to hit the rev limiter. Nor is hitting the rev limiter producing any power. My rev limiter is set to 7500-8000 rpm, just depends on what i feel like or what im racing, but I also have a forged rotating assembly, patriot heads, reichard intake, vortech charger. etc etc.
