What Mustangs were you riding in?! Maybe a stock Mustang would have nothing after 4500 rpms, but a 302 with heads, cam, & intake that can't make power above 4500 rpms?? Those must have been some mismatched combos. I run the B-303 with Edelbrock intake & alum. heads with 2.02/1.60 valves. My motor pulls hard up to 6000 rpms no problem. In fact it doesn't even hit it's powerband until 3000-3500 rpms. Different combos work for different people I guess.

Same with me...but mine pulls til about 5800, but I don't have the guts to shift that high with my stock AOD with ~120k miles.
Also, it sounds like you are grouping the E and B cams together, even though they make their power in totally different places. I could see the B-cam dying on its face, because it isn't meant to make power up high.
