Question Safe RPM limit
I have set my rev limit to 5600 rpm on an internally stock 5.3 L33, is this going to cause premature wear? Sounds fine when i run it up there

Do the new trucks have the good rod bolts like the f-bodys and vettes?

5600 is where mine shifted when it was stock and still does. I would set the rev limiter at 6000.

Shifting at 7k here. Was on a stock bottom end, but I did finally put some rod bolts in.
