This may be a dumb question but My car hits the rev limiter at about 6800 and the redline looks like 7200, is this right? So I can't hit the red line.

I believe, but am not completely sure, that your limiter can be adjusted. Check your owner's manual as I believe that's where I've seen it.

I don't really have a problem with the settings I just wonder why at times. The dyno scan I use says I'm out of the tourque band at 6300 so there really is no point to push to the redline.

Common misconception, see my previous post.

I don't really look at the tach. I just shift by sound/feel..........or leave it in automatic.
