looking at those graphs, can someone explain why you would want to move the rev limiter up?

Can't explain it.

If you built the bottom of the motor up and had different cam and springs designed to run higher RPMs, then I could see it. But no benefit for a stock engine, other then just hearing it rev higher. I`ve ran into a few people who think when it floats out it`s time to shift.

Every mod you do changes the way in which air is moving in or out of the engine. When you change the way air is moving in or out of the engine the fueling also has to change. That's why you should tune after each set of mods that you do. A stock engine would almost always benefit from a tune as well because usually performance cars come from the factory with a conservative tune.

Hope this helps,
