you should be able to feel it...the car will go through those certain RPMs the fastest, and pull the hardest...In a stock 5.0, it is from like 1500-5500.

the powerband is the range (in RPMs) between peak torque and peak Horsepower.

get going around 25 and put your car in 4th and then floor it, you should be able to feel when the car starts to pull harder

So if you get going about 85 mph and shift it into first and let the clutch out you will easily fly by that pesky 6250 rev limit...
