Default What should my Max Engine RPM be?

Right now it is set at 6200 but what are all of the factors that have gone into that?

The engine is a low compression 9:1 346, with heads and a blower cam as well as a v2 S trim supercharger.

Does it depend on the heads/cam, the springs?

cam specs Blower Cam 224/228 591/591 @ 116. The heads are ported LS6.

Also what is the highest rpm you would suggest spinning a Vortech V2 supercharger?

Thank you all.

As far as the eng goes -it depends on your cam--Typically where the eng quits making MORE power and begins to make less--is where you would want to shift at---More duration raises the HP band-
As fa ras your blower---talk to them directly--I'd follow their reccomendations exactly---
