what is the highest safe rpm that the 4.6L 3V can turn?
what is standard in SCT tunes as far as rev limits?

Theres a post on another site where 1 member has his set at 6600-6700 rpm. A tuner in the same thread set his at 6500 (i believe) and made 15 pulls continuous with no valve float. I'll see if I can find the thread...
