I think he means the engine revs up to the point that the rev limiter kicks in.
It really depends on what you mean by bad. In my opinion you are abusing the engine, clutch, tranny and driveline for no reason but it's your truck and when it comes time for repairs it will be your $$$$.

There isnt much of a set redline, mie has a gas cutoff at about 5500 RPM's though. But its not really logical to even take it that high, 48000-5000 is about the highest it needs to be takin if your racing or something.

3.0L red line at 5500 rpm my stock tach says 6000 but it boucnes at 5500. if you shift at 5000-5250 you should stay with a 5.0 mustang untill midway through 3rd gear. havent tried aginst a 4.6 mustang.

I think not. You might keep up with with a 4 banger or 6 cylinder but no 5.0. You are toast from the start against the 5.0.

bud i have hung with 5.0 till third. i dont know if they were stock or not. stick 5.0s get past me as im shifting into third but autos stay untill around 3400-3550rpm i dont look to much at the speedomater ,mosty the tach, but its a pretty much stock 3.0L 5speed. i have ony upgraded raido, subs, took of the cap. but have plans for a built 5.0 or a '01 cobra 4.6L super charged.
