Stock what kind of RPMs?????

Stang Runner · 06-05-2001, 02:09 PM

On the 5.0 what rpm's should I get?? Is there a stock revlimiter in it? I dont have one? How would you do that? It the computer reprogrammed?? I can get E-Z 6100 RPM's. The car was a bank repo so I dont know much about. It had only a K&N when I got, I think?

No reason to shift her there though, unless you like the sound I guess. LOL. You're not making **** for power up there.

is that 6100 on the factory tach?? they are known for being off a bit so your probly not close to 6100.

How far off could it be?
(Unit 5302 No reason to shift her there though, unless you like the sound I guess. LOL. You're not making **** for power up there. ) I know It sound high but my tires are still breaking lose! My friend as a 87 coupe that we know it is stock and he has 3.08 gears and I can bet him on any day, he cant get ahead of me even on the start.
lx Mike I am going to try and see if my tach is right I have a Timing gun that tells your RPMs I will see if they say the same!

I figure my stock tach is around 200 rpm fast. I was shifting around 6000 with tach and no real problems. I put a shift light in with 6000 pill, and if I don't shift, like right at the light the rev limiter hits (especially in 1st when the revs are climbing fast). Now I learn that the rev limiter is 6250 so I think I was really shifting at around 5800.

I shift out of frist at about 50 to 52 MPH it must be close to 6100-6200 RPMs.

dinomite · 06-08-2001, 03:47 PM

Ya, on a stock 5.0 you should shift just over 5000. The stock tach can be off by as much as 300 either way.

Stang Runner · 06-08-2001, 04:53 PM

rev limiter is 6250 is that only when the car is in gear?? It revs up over 7000 on the tach, I had a 300+ Accel and it was with in 100 rpm on my tach. Is it Possible to rev it that far on the stock cam?? Like I said I got it at a repo lot, K&N and flowMasters I could not keep the timing right It need a new timing chain. It runs great 114000 miles on the car but It looks like it was rebuilt at some time.
I have a Getech and I will thy and do a 1/4 mile with it. I no it is not as good as at the track but it woks better than a stop watch.
What 1/4 should I get with my car? I do have 2.73's Thanks!

Yeah the stock tach will go to 7000rpm. But your stock stang has a 6250 rev lim.

Yeah on a stock 88 or newer fox body, there is NO power past that. I'm sure you already know. All my tachs are autometer 5 inch montster tachs, there the best, not a bad investment , plus the look cool. And you can always take it out if you want to sell it. Jegs and Summit have a take with memory and a shift lite for $109.

Stang Runner · 06-11-2001, 04:54 PM

I just tested how much rpms I can get and the power band is at about 4000-6200. I dont think it is all stock. Times are 14.6@96mph that was with are bad 3 gear shift I dumped the clutch at 4000 rpm it had a bit of wheel spin. The next run was about 2min later and I dumped it at the same 4000 rpm and NO wheel spin at all the clutch just sliped 14.9@99mph
