Does a stock 1987 Mustang Gt have a built in rev limiter at all? I'm just wondering

Yes, sir. The EEC cuts fuel to the engine at 6250 rpms.

If you are using the stock tach.... you can probably rev all the way to the red and not bounce off the limiter.

The stock tach is very, VERY inacurate when it is used above 3500 RPMS.

Your only solution to this is to buy a aftermarket tach and use that to tell you where you are really shifting.
