What's your redline set at?

[luvgun74]

Just out of curiosity, what does everyone have their rpm's set to? Mine is at 6500 and was wondering if that is too high since it came with the sct tune from brenspeed.

 

[GOTSVT?]

I have no idea, lol!

 

[FEARSNO1]

7100!!!!!!!!

 

[svt boost]

most people recommend stock engine stock rev limiter: 6250

 

[sgt d]

6300

brandon has good reason to be as high as he is..lol..

 

[09Troublemaker]

6250

 

[rdsnk46]

6900

Stock Rods + More HP + RPM's above 6250 = :burn:

 

[me32]

6700

A stupid question but are you guys making more power after 6000 rpms? or did you guys set it a little higher so get more MPH in each gear??

 

[Finaltheorem47]

Interesting! Why is the redline so low? Only reason I can think of would be the piston speeds which many said aren't a problem.

 

[me32]

mine was set higher because it made power all the way to that RPM, thats how your Rev limiter should be set

I dont know............:-D

Don't go above 7000 with stock rods. Personally 6500 is will keep you safe....gives you a little slop.:coolman:

Your car will make PLENTY OF POWER under 6500 rpms. If your pushing over 700 rwhp and going beyond 6500 rpms on stock rods.... your flirting with disaster. MOST of the engine BOOMS was due to high rpms.:read:

I'll take a few less HP under 6500 rpms than getting a few more HP over 6500 and chancing flying rods.

Maybe it has something to do with the 4.165" stroke :uh oh:

That is more then a 454
