Default SHIFTING

6900! Damn! i was always curious to where they set it....i would just slowly try 100 more rpm at a time tell i got to 6500 which i thought was good enough....
Dose anyone actually shift that high?

just like there pulley set up, ford has a higher rpm that the car can take but they put it low and are over cautius. You will need a good tune so you dont lean out your fuel but yes i have gone that high.
