I think stock is about 5200 or 5300 and stage 1 is normally right at 6000 - 6100

Full blown limit is 6200 determined by the balancers design. I set mine to 5888 on the tmax and havn't hit it yet. With these engines there's not a lot of use beyond 5500 anyway other than noise in basic stock condition.

Same here but I set my Tmax a tad lower at 5500, and haven't had a need or desire to hit it yet.
