Default "9k rpm"

Am I the only who feels taunted by the car having a 9K RPM limit, but it caps out at 7300 RPM?

Also, has anyone done any motor work/bolt ons/tuning chips to get a little more out of the engine? I read somewhere that there was a custom LC 500 at SEMA back in 2016 prior to the production rollout and they had bored the motor out a bit to add more displacement and the engine was allegedly capable of being tuned to handle 900-ish HP. Nowhere near the numbers I'd want, but I'm curious as to what has already been done.

Thanks in advance!

How are you liking them? And have you noticed any performance gains?

^^^^Yes I have. But, my LC was not stock for long. I had the same setup on my previously owned ISF. I also use Lucas Octane Booster. With the crappy gas we have in the west I was only able to get a reading of 19.3 for KCLV on my LC. With Lucas I'm now at 23.3.
