Will not rev past 5500

I guess we got off point. I would have to agree that the valve springs are most likely the limiting factor with regard to the inability of Kevnsue's stock 5.0 to throttle up to 5800 rpms......

Well I am sure the car would run better had I not been loosing a clutch at the time. That would acount for my 2.20 60 ft times. I now have a new clutch and MT Street's to go back up and take another shot at it. That is why now I say the car should run low 13teen's. GOSH!!!!!! How come everyone is so diffencive on this forum. We all like the same cars but since I have put this thread on my car has been called a slow Turd!! I do not think it is a turd!!! As for me I have been around a little I am not completely new to the sport. I have 4 fox mustangs this is the last one I picked up. I was not saying anything bad about the mid west I just happen to live in the northwest so getting my biscut's and gravy from you guy's would be difficult.
Sorry for all the trouble.

ok not trying to stur the pot here but i tend to agree here with kevnsue. i am NOT and expierenced driver but to me shifter my car at 4500 seems to make it run slower, i have had it dynoed and if i can find the sheet you guys could correct me by lookin at it and tellin me the peak cuz honestly i was kinda lost lookin at it. but i gotta find it first

put in fresh springs - if that doesn't do it, pull and port your lower or put a new intake on it and then I bet it will.
