Default How hard can i drive...safely?



I have a 2000 gt, with cat back exhaust kit, underdrive pulleys, k&amp;n filter, hopefully soon a CAI kit, MAS, throttle body, and ported and polished intake. </P>


I was just wondering how hard i can drive my car, without having to worry about my genitals being the target of a piston or anything like that. I know thats its possible to take a car past its limits, and i was just wondering what that limit is. I plan on taking my car to the drag strip soon, and im curious if im gonna mess something up if i go too hard.</P>


Thanks guys</P>


Kyle</P>

From what I have heard, the internals like the crank and connecting rods and such are good until about 400hp or so. I dont think you have much to worry about yet. Also the 4.6 takes higher RPM's better than the 5.0L.

I've pushed my car into the red line many times , and it takes pretty well.I dont think you have to worry about much as long as u arent pushing it to 7000rpm "I didn't buy a v-8 for gas mileage" nice haha
