But to be honest, how much past 130 can you go with stock rev limit and stock E350 trans? With E351 and raised rev limit however its considerable. I have a 7400rpm rev limit and E351 and I can hit about 145 in 4th

At stock Redline should be around 140 before running out of rpm. I'm at 6800rpms and I'm hitting about 147-150.

To the OP, glad you got this figured out and happy boosting!

Well then you are back to needing to get rid of the F/IC, cause it won't raise your rev limit. And do you have a built motor, cause 7500rpms is not happening on a stock one.

I understand that the FIC won't raise my rev limit. Of course I have a built motor (picking up from the machine shop June 1st!). I wouldn't dare try and raise the rev limit that high on a stock motor....that's just asking for trouble!

Well the car ran great for two days and went to start it today and was hard to start and it finally started and isles roughly around 300-400rpm and then I went down the street and the car died on me and wouldn't start then the battery drained. Got a jump and drove car a few blocks home and then died on me. Bought a new battery and will start one time and idle rough and will die and then won't start again. So ____ed off.
