Eric, i have pegged mine past 7grand by accident! the needle went in the black area. i was washing my car and vacuumed the carpets, well i wasnt paying attention and i put the carpet under the gas pedal. when i was going down the road, i felt like doing the 3-2 shift, well thats when it stuck and oh shiat! first thing i did was turn the ignition off. i had no idea what just happened. now i know the factory tachs are off, but if i pegged it to the bottom of the gauge past the 7 mark, wouldnt i be past 6250? i lucked out, nothing happened to the motor. the lifters were clackin, but i let it sit and ran it gently and they pumped back up. oh i have seen a 90's 5 ohs that been put past 6250 with an aftermarket tach. the car was stock with cats. one of my stupid friends tried to see if he can make the car "pull" up there. why? i dont know. i just wanted to see him blow his motor. guess what, blew the lifters apart. what a stupid kid
