Thanks Bob for the additional information.  The way the Summit catalog reads,  
they sell only the kits that come in even increments
(6100, 6200, 6400, 6600, 6800).  so unless I misread it, the closest you can 
come to 6500 through Summit is either 6400 or 6600.  But
what is 100 RPM among friends!  :)

Actually, I think I will just get the packaged unit and use the 7K module.  I 
don't think that engine will have any problems at that
level.  If I do, I can always order additional modules.
