PERFECT! And blackfang, can you tell me what that dyno says the "peak" power is for that car.
oh did you say 5,500 rpm? ..... yeah thats what i thought.
...stick that in your pipe and smoke it. UDT FTW
Ummm let me dig up the title and topic of
your thread
Can someone tell me the stock red-line for a 99-02 GT
I just wanted to make sure
Blackfang You're friend MAY run a 12.9 but you'll find that you are both inexperienced and arogant to think that you know everything. You guys have a lot to learn if you think just because his car went ot 6,250 on the dyno makes you think his redline is that. You're friend would be running much better times if he cooled down and shifted sooner.
As you can see from the dyno your friend is loosing DRASTIC power shifting all the way up at 6,250RPM. The dyno will show the peak powerband the car makes, and as you can CLEARLy see its reached at 5500rpm.
The only way you should be shifting a GT past the 5,800 rPM redline is if you have cams. Cams WILL alter your redline and then you can be shifting at 6,200+ depending on the cam and tune.
Dont be thinking because im younger than you, that you dont know waht im talking about. I'm a mustang finatic and a mechanic. I respect what others have to say on this board and take all input positively form everyone on here. Thats why i made this thread so we can see what oether members have to say about our little debate. I was mearly having fun but i've seen now you're turning this into a " i dont know what im talking about thread".
Well go take another look at the dyno sheet and then what others will ahve to post in here and get back to me...
Well Guy ran 12.9's with minimal mods i.e mid pipe, 4.30's, DR's sfc's, shifter and didnt blow the rear like you have claimed he should with gears, he also never shifted into 5th gear like you claim he should. He also got 24 mpg too
Ya know I should ask, what is your experience on this? You get your info from a computer program or actually racing and seeing others race and getting dirty? What times is your GT running?
Inexperienced and arrogant? No. I have had over plenty of passes down the 1/4 mile to know what I am doing. I have worked on, modded and watched friends race their cars at the strip as well. I also spend enough time on the net asking questions from semi pro racers, shop owners like Tim and Andy Barth of MPH, Scott and Jim of VT Engines, and listen to many racers who also do their own work on these sites.
You seem to be very inexperienced at drag racing as you always take the car to right before redline. You never shift at your peak hp, but you go past it in most cases. The reason for this is when you fall back on rpms(during the shift) you want to keep the car in the powerband. If you shift at peak your next gear may fall out of your powerband and you suffer in ET and MPH. Granted there are different variables to this.
Your idea on shifting past 5800 with cams is your unproven and uninformed opinion as these motors can easily rev to 7k. Heck some cams like the comps make power up to 6500 for the 2v's. However there are a ton of people shifting at 6200 with no problems at all. Maybe you should see what they have to say.
You said the GT could not rev past 5800 and I proved to you, you were wrong. I don;t give a crap what other agenda you may have now since I and others have posted stating it goes past 5800.
Can someone tell me the stock red-line for a 99-02 GT. He seems to say his friend has a slightly moded 4.30 rear end gear GT that trapped 105mph in 4th gear. And he says his friends same 02 GT (uncammed) red line is 6,250 RPM. 
You're friend would be running much better times if he cooled down and shifted sooner.
