Question RPM Limiter

I am knew to the whole tuning thing and I just bought TunerCat. I was wondering how you adjust the rev limiter using tunercat and what is a safe RPM to set it to on a car with just bolt-ons (see sig).

An internally stock LT1 makes peak power around 5300 RPM, so you should really raise the limiter to gain any power. I upped mine from 5850 (stock) to 6000. I still plan on shifting at the same time as before I just wanted to lessen the chance of bouncing off the rev limiter. Until you do a cam you shouldn't really change it.

I still don't know how to actually change it in the tuner cat program.
