Tell me if I'm wrong, but with my understanding, each time you do a different mod to your car from CAI to exhaust to pulleys, doesnt that change the peak HP position in the RPMs? So if thats the case doesnt it depend on each individual car and the mods they run for when the power drops off?

During the high revs is when those mods will yield the most gains.

mine makes the peak hp at 5200-5300, but i shift at 5800 to keep it in a good rpm for the next shift. o yea, mods do affect the peak etc. you can usually tell when it stops pulling or take it to a dyno and figure it out.

Find a stock dyno curve and find the peak power. Its a little different for eery car and every mod though. My cobra like redline.

Peak horsepower is around 5200-5300, but you should still shift at redline.

Shifting at redline drops the car back into the power band instead of farther down in the RPM range where it doesnt make power.

I peak at 6000 now, which is where we cut off the dyno

My car feels like its still pulling alittle at 6000rpm,but the 4.6's love to turn.Not like my 95 5.0 i had,you could fell that stop pulling.
+1 my friend has a 95 5.0 and when i ride with him you can EASILY feel the power cut off. Its like the engine died or something its weird. Its seems to be exactly when you hit 5k it dies
