Default rev limit on cosworth

Sorry but I'm new to the forum. I have a Westfield with a 2wd cosworth engine and have an adjustable rev limiter fitted. What is a good safe rev limit?

Thanks

Mr.J

Default revs

According to the manual max power is 6000rpm, max continuous engine speed is 6500 rpm max torque at 4500 rpm.

If standard rod bolts are fitted then don't take it over 7500 rpm. If you car doesn't produce any power up that high then it's pointless reving it that high anyway.

Thanks, it's getting set up at Motorsports Dev in Oct. I'll set it to 6000 until then see where the power is.
