... people really should read a lot more about what an SCT tuner can/will do for you when you get a good tune made for YOUR truck.
You need to do a lot more reading if you think setting your rev limiter is all you need to do. Read about cylinder pressures, timing, and EGT's. Those three have little to do with the rev limiter.

I do agree that the SCT is the best / safest option given proper information, proper tuning, proper monitoring, and proper equipment.
