Will going to 7k hurt my engine?

WOW! That's good info guys!

I have had many people simply not believe me that I shift my 95GT @ 6400+ with the stock EEC. I've been doing this Mustang stuff for a long time and was certian that I was correct because I use a Autometer shift light and I've dyno'd the car and seen more than 6250 on the dyno. Just nice to know that someone out there believes me!
 
I did a big nono once and when I glanced down the stock tach was damn near bottomed out.... my motor lived.... so if it's still running, you should be fine.

Okay, I'll admit my stupidity... I pulled up next to a 454SS truck (usually slow, but not always) and I had the juice ready. Problem is I had downshifted to second coming up to the light and didn't really notice.

When the light turned green he was all over it. I "gulp" sprayed it in second gear... couldn't figure out why my car was bogging so bad, noticed the problem... and didn't think. I manual shifted it to 1st! :bang:

Let's just say that was the first and last time my tires went up in smoke at that high of an rpm. It was bad, sounded terrible, and I limped to the side of the road. Cleaned out my shorts and let the car idle for a while. Sounded okay... been driving it and spraying ever since. These 302s are tough little suckers. :D

So there you go, you can screw up driving an Automagic car.
