Default Redline?

Is there anyway to raise it up to about 7000?

You could probably do it with a tuner bu why do you want to do that? Do you think you'll gain that much with the higher risk of damage to your engine?

you can remove your rev-limiter with a tuner, and then you can make redline as high as you want.

You do that with a stock motor and you are going to break something that is not easy to fix.

You can raise your redline to what ever you want...... [ol][*]Your Bottom End Will not handle it(Blown Motor)[*]You wont make any power past 5800-6k ( so why raise it)[*]If you get heads and Cams you will now make power to 6500+(Again Bottom End Wont Take it) Blown Motor![*] The 03 Cobras have a Built Motor THe Mach 1's Dont have a built motor.

i have a 97 gt with minor stuff. theres some stuff which was done before i got it. bought it off a stealership with no way to get ahold of the guy before me. It has about 130000 on it so i was just looking for a new engine and tranny to drop in it. Looking at 4v. but itll be awhile before i get that money XD so i wanna continue on with this engine
