Every so often I'll try to go be ear to shift and when I do look down the tach is buried in the red (7K rpm). I have done this only a few times but hope I didnt screw anything up. Does the Mustang have a rev limiter that it will bounce off if I hit it or will it just blow the engine? My G35 I sold had a rev limiter so I knew that it would catch the RPM's if I shifted too late.
Exactly.try2catchmy99 said:Yes they do have a rev limiter, im not exactly sure what the exact rpm is but its not past 6200. The previous owner must have removed the limiter with a programmer or chip. 7 grand is not a good place to be on a stock 2 valve.

spederman said:what happens when you do hit it? Does it cut power or just keep it revving really high like at 6250? cause if i did hit it, its not like my G used to be and bounce off it and keep doing it over and over.
most rev limiters I've seen work in two ways, they are all controlled by the ECU on modern EFI engines. And they will either close the injectors or reduce the spark from the coil/ignition pack. There are other methods as well.spederman said:what happens when you do hit it?

Mirrahasmycar said:it will bounce back if its stock, but its still not good, the best place to shift is around 5000-5200 depending on mods, 5500 is actually makes you slower, if your motor is set to rev higher and can handle it then go higher, you want to hit the max hp on shifts, not max rpms
It really depends on the car. I own a '01 GT with basic mods:Mirrahasmycar said:it will bounce back if its stock, but its still not good, the best place to shift is around 5000-5200 depending on mods, 5500 is actually makes you slower, if your motor is set to rev higher and can handle it then go higher, you want to hit the max hp on shifts, not max rpms
