5L redline?
My truck came without a tach, so I installed an aftermarket one. What's the redline on a 302? I don't really plan to run this thing like it's a dragster, but it would be nice to know what it's limits are.
TIA

The rev limiter on a 5.0 Mustang cuts out at 6200. No reason to rev it that high, the HP peak is somewhere around 5200. With the truck version, the redline would be similar but the HP peak a bit lower

If fuel cutoff is at 5200...why have I had mine to 5500, not a completely accurate tach?
