7000 Rpm

[Unit 5302]

KABOOOMMM!!!

While the roller cam will probably be okay, the stock valvetrain will not. The lifters will pump up, the valvesprings will fail, and the rockers probably won't like it much either. I'm not sure if the rotating assembly will like it too much to be honest. You need a serious combo to be running 7000rpm with much of an advantage over 6500rpm. To put the kind of money into an engine to have it make good power at 7000, means you need to build the engine to take 7000rpms too. Good parts are the key to running high rpms, and the Mustang 5.0 doesn't have those kind of bulletproof components from the factory. It's rev limiter is at 6250, with a redline of 5900rpm, and spinning the stock engine to redline won't net performance gains over the low mid 5's. In other words, it wasn't built to do 7000rpms.
