I agree. I'd be changing gear ratios before I up the rev limit (mostly to be on the safe side & warranty reasons).
If your ambitious enough and can pay for any potential damage, I say have fun with a higher redline. That sounds like it would be a lot of fun, but until I hear more about the "reliability" of this engine I'm apprehensive. It is proving to hold up quite well with boost so far, but I'm not an engine expert.
