I hav e the Mopar SBEC and I still hit the fuel shut off which I believe is
programmed in around 6100 rpm. The truck still pulls hard until then. I
have the 2030 Crane Cam and Mopar springs and retainers so it should be
able to rev a little higher, yet I wouldn't want to go much higher than 6
grand consistently. I hear the lifter bores on the Magnums are
suceptible to damage at high RPM.
