Default Rev limiter

2016 Street Glide (stage 1) with FP3.

I noticed that with the FP3 you can bump the rev limiter up. How much can I safely increase it past the factory 6k rpms? Pros / cons?

Factory cams and compression? Nothing to gain, bumped up compression and aftermarket cams, then you can get some gains.

Yep factory cams and compression. Thanks for the answers, I'll leave it alone.
