Do your gauges look stock? I think the V6 mustang gauge cluster tach only goes up to 7..

the engine was replaced before i got it could it be possible that they replaced the v6 with a v8 would the engine bolt up to the v6 tranny just got it so it might be a dumb question and the v8 wouldnt run with the v6 computer? my buddy has a v6 mustang and his rev limiter kicks in at 5200 just like mine
