Haha, unfortunately for some of us a little youthful arrogance and recklessness can over rev and drown out intuitionand destroy expensive car parts...

 

Yeah, After 4500, the engine is straining too much for me. However, i've revved well past 5k in first gear just toying around with it. I usually do that around once a day. So i redline my stock 2v 289 thats never been rebuilt all the time. it takes every bit of it.

 

Yea your just ready for a new engine,,, Right?

 

Maaaaybe......... SHUT UP. Naw, I just need my heads rebuilt, Surprisingly my bottom end it tight. 63,000 original miles.

 

Soaring and Smothers:
totally agreed. My butt-o-meter tells me when to stop it as well.
And I hope that I'm in the 4000-4500 that the 2 of you suggest.
I believe that my car is that load that 4000 can be easily mistaken with 6000 in any other car ..

Hold it that long, and you should get 6k+. I can get about 7k that way, but the acceleration isn't worth much over 6500. How high does it go shifting through the gears without losing acceleration?
