Default Powerband?

I've got a question for all of the guys who still have bone stock 5.0s out there (all two of you besides me ). When does your powerband "hit" on your car? Thats if there even is a hit. My car pulls had till 3 grand then once I hit 3, GET THE HELL OUTTA MY WAY! I mean you gets nailed back into your seat. I'm trying to figure out whether the cars first owner put a cam into it or not. I need to know this before I try to go solve a slightly lumpy idle issue that could be caused by a mild aftermarket cam. Thanks again guys!

its normal for the stang to idle high when cold

it will go down when its warm or ready

normaly if it does this when it's warm, the IAC is dirty.

oh ya powerband should be from 1800-4800
