well, i installed the pullies today with my brother, and we took it for a cruise.
i was getting on it a little bit when i had the chance, and was shifting generally around 5000 RPMs.
he was saying that i should take it a little bit higher. he told me to look at the horsepower rating for my car and see where it makes its most HP, and shift there.
i'm reading on the mustang forum time line that its around 215 horsepower at 4200 RPMs.
is this where i would want to shift? it seems like thats real low.
my dad used to race, and my brother used to race, but they both haven't been into it for over 10 years.
it seems like that would be real low, but at the same time, i don't want to be sitting there revving the engine and not going anywhere.
i'm basically stock, i've got 3.73s going in soon, just waiting for a good day to do them.
i've got a rebuilt t-5 with astro performance gears. stock 3.08s in the rear, weld in flowmasters, and the underdrive pullies.
i'm planning on ordering a offroad x pipe maybe tomorrow or so.
