You can have the rev limiter removed by a tuning company that does ECU work (Jim Wolf). In terms of safely increasing the redline you would have to get into engine internals...

What does increasing redlin ehave to do with drifting?

I guess I was unclear on what having a higher rev lets you achieve in drift? I guess now I know!

you can destroke it and/or get a fully counterbalanced crankshaft. That is if you want to raise your rev limit significantly. Although this may be overkill for most people.

i think the valve springs would be the first thing to up grade.

cams would be the first thing i'd get.

you could use stock cams up to a higher rev limit, but you wouldn't get much gain with them. if you don't upgrade the valve springs you'll start floating valves and ruin your engine.

if you only want to hit 7500 or 8000 rpm you would probably be fine just upgrading the cams and valve springs.
