6200+rpm car turns off ish.

[90GT50]

I don't think it matters. 6250 is the factory rev limiter as far as I know for all of the 5.0 Foxes. I think the Cobra even banged out at 6250.

I over-revved my mustang once when I had it, I'm positive that it goes over 6,500 minimum, heh. I think it was the a9p ecu, I can't remember, it's been forever.

I hear that's a rumor, seems to be evidence of that in this thread.



A9P?

Yes that's what I have.

Maybe that's people with fucked up tachs

Mine turns off, gauge looks to be just shy of 6500 when it shuts off.

About 2 years ago I was messing around in Water and banged it out before the tune and mods.

Because you have a chip with a tune that probably has a rev limiter on it.

It did it before the tune?

Maybe back when it happened 2 years ago it was the valve floating at 6500? Stock tired stuff? It was more subtle and didn't turn the car off like now.

Not sure, I'd ask your tuner.

If you are going off the factory tach, a 5.0 can spin 7000 rpms but 6250 is the rev limiter.

dont you want to keep the rpm under 6500 in a pushrod 5.0 because they throw rods at those engine speeds? i thought i heard that before.

I rev mine that high and the rods are still in it so far

Maybe with a stock balancer. I have a steel sfi balancer. So I should be okay. The rods are okay but the block is garbage.
