No you can't just raise limiter and increase power. We were talking about a cam upgrade I mentioned with the increase in redline to 8500 as well which will help the head flow better.
Yes there is a lot of stuff to pay attention to when upgrading to a cam. He says doing the supercharger is the better idea (obviously) but you know boost points and stuff take a toll on points.

Before you go down this path, contact Greg Greenbaum and ask at your weight how much "max" hp you can make to stay at a certain point level. Back in 2010 when I requested mine, it was actually lower than what I could get with points so I didn't go that path. It is dependent on the car and Greenbaums mood that day.
The lowest weight to power I can do in TTE is 16.50
The max power I can do to be higher than 16.50 weight to power at 2800 pounds is 169.69whp.
My weight to power with ~150whp (I really need to get on an actual dyno. I'm putting down !180hp to the crank on VDyno) and 2800pounds is 18.66.
