Hey there... haven't seen your posts in a while! No plans, in the near future at least, to raise the rev limiter. That would take reworking of the DME code which we can certainly do via mail (or drive-in). But I'd rather just stick to addressing the fundamental tune issues first. I think 8400rpm is plenty as is. Extra revs have always made me a bit nervous as it opens up a few cans of worms (crankshaft harmonics, lubrication issues, piston speed limits, etc,.) I know many have not had issues but unless there is a big return from the extra revs, I'll stay away from it.

GewoW-- No reliability issue to speak of. This is one of the nice things about improving operating conditions (high octane and low IAT) first and only then making the tune more aggressive. Rather than just making the tune more aggressive and hoping that conditions never get *too* bad.
