Your LT5 engine has a rev limit at 7072-RPM, but keep in mind that the LT5 doesn't make a whole lot of power beyond 6500 or so. In a hill climb, especially on with lots of curves and few or no long straights, you're going to be better to use a gear change strategy which keeps the engine between peak torque and peak power rather than up near the rev limit. Also, keep in mind that a rev limiter will not protect you from overrev on a improper downshift or "downchange" as some of you Brits say.
Good luck, Pat!
