how safe is this???

Traidmarx · January 16th, 2009, 12:25 PM

just wondering how safe is it to take a stock 5.0 to 6200rpms before shifting, reason i ask normally i shift around 5800 but this morning i got on it, and ran it to 6200 (really by accident) but noticed that when i shifted that high that it didn't feel like it was losing any power, and 2nd seemed to pull ALOT harder.

might have just got you higher in the rpm range making more power on the alphabet cam you have

93hatch · January 16th, 2009, 12:29 PM

no its not making power up there regardless of how it "feels" on the stock h/c, and do you trust 13 year old single coil valve springs to be doing that?

Traidmarx · January 16th, 2009, 12:30 PM

as far as i know the cam is stock

i said it happened one time didn't say i plan on doing it all the time...that sorta the point of asking the question.

u asked if it was safe, sounded like you want to do it all the time. and i think 5800 is too high but thats just me, i shifted my fox at 5500 before my h/c/i

White Thunder · January 16th, 2009, 12:36 PM

the only way to know for sure is a dyno or the track

93mustank · January 16th, 2009, 02:04 PM

Yoou sure its 6200....Are you using the stock tach?

M L Struck · January 16th, 2009, 02:11 PM

your stock tach is off by atleast 1000 rpm, a stock 5.0 stops making power between 4800 and 5200 your rod bolts will not hold up at 6000 rpm very long

Iwannagofast · January 16th, 2009, 02:41 PM

im pretty sure mine was reading 7000 on the stock tach when i hit my rev limiter

Traidmarx · January 16th, 2009, 02:51 PM

yea i was using the stock tach...so chances are it probably still felt strong because it was still in the rpm range then???

+1 with the dyno

ryans88gt · January 16th, 2009, 03:07 PM

buy a new tach...lol

my autometer reads 5800 when my stock tach is buried at 7000...

The stock one is even off at 3000 rpms by about 200.

Traidmarx · January 16th, 2009, 03:16 PM

i've also been told that the 95 GT's and Cobra's didn't have a rev limiter....i'm guessing that info was wrong?

93hatch · January 16th, 2009, 03:18 PM

your car has a rev limiter, me and my friend learned this when my throttle cable got stuck on my 94

notfastenuff · January 16th, 2009, 03:23 PM

I wouldnt shift that high even at the track

that sucks...but do you have any idea what it is??

93hatch · January 16th, 2009, 03:27 PM

i thought it was 6250, i could be wrong though

White Thunder · January 16th, 2009, 06:52 PM

yeah man if you need a tach i might be able to find you a cheap silver autometer
