What is a sfe rpms for 525 efi with whipples?Dustin says to turn them 6000 and when summer gets here it will still turn about 5700-5800.Is this to high for stock 525's.Old rev limiter was set a 5450 and dustin says he's test that the 525 was still building power at 6000- and set the rev at 6200.I think its to high and want the rev set at 5800.Am i wrong ?

Stock prop range is 4600-5200 if you didn't change the valve train and do a bunch of work in the bottom end I would stay down under 6,000 It may mean the difference between floating at the dock and boating all summer.
