Plus will get them jump and then you have to play catch up... which is never easy

Piston speed is "kind of" the engine rpm limiting factor.
VQ35 (stock stroke) at 8500rpm = 7340FPM (piston speed)
2JZ (stock stroke) will only be at 7970rpm to have the same piston speed.
or a...
2JZ at 9500rpm = 8749FPM that would let a VQ35 go to 10,132rpm to have the same piston speed
I rev mine out to 8200 with no problems.

Yes many people with the 4780, 4788, or 5591 will shift in the 9500+ range. Most other peole with the smaller 42 and 45 frame turbos will shift anywhere from 8000-8800.

what difference does it make where you set your rev limiter if you know that if you hit it, there's a good chance you will be changing the engine.. It's what the engine can take, not where you set the electronics. If I put my rev limiter to 15k is that now my redline???
