rev limiter is at 6250rpm...

and if your engine is stock, or rebuilt with stock parts... ~5200 should be your max

not hurting it yet but you aren't making any power.
stock 5.0 internals are completely done making power at 5250ish

the only thing you are hurting... is your times

does anyone know where i could get a picture of the stock hp/tq? and is there anywhere i could go to est. hp/tq with the installed parts?

if you car is stock, chances are REALLY good that you arent making more than 200rwhp

and if you tell us what parts you are installing/want installed.. we can give you approximate gains

CAI,e303 cam, 1.6 RRs, underdrive pulleys, MSD cap and rotor + blaster coil.... then i am installing cobra intake manifold, aluminum radiator and dual 12" electric fans
