max rpms
Hey, i was just wondering what the max rpms are i should shift with my mustang, iv never gone above 4700 with it yet but i know shes got more in her just dont want to end up hurting it. It has a 79 motor in it and a t5 transmission, i think everything else should be in my sig. thanks for any help and sorry for the noob question lol.

I personally have never taken mine above 4000. Friend of mine takes his to 5500 when racing it but I baby mine only because she is still pretty cream puffy (minus paint)

I don't know about the early fox body Mustangs but I know the later 5.0L engines run out of power around 5k so I would shift at around 5200rpm in a race situation.

A 79 motor? Keep shifting at 4700. You're fine...just gonna fall flat on its face anywhere above 5,000. Plus you'll wear springs faster for no gain.
