What's the 5.0's redline?

isn't there a built in shift light in the premium? I haven't seen it

Usually you want spark to be cut first so the car goes rich on the limiter instead of lean. Too lean can cause detonation especially if getting on it in another gear shortly after.

Good to know, thanks guys!

6500. After that you lose power lol, I used to shift at 7k then at 7.5k feeling bad ass, until I saw my dyno chart. Power drops after 6500!

I try to shift mine at 7200 but it revs so damn fast that I have taken it up to 7700 a few times.

Thanks Plimmer! Could you explain why fuel and spark don't cut out together? I'm not knowledgeable about motors, was curious why you would still want fuel after stopping spark.

check out this link, it talks a bit about Predicted and Immediate torque control....

I believe those initial hash marks are the "caution" ones with the engine redlining at 7K. However, I have experienced fuel shut off at 6800 rpm.

Yep, my fuel shutoff is the same about 6800-6850 according to engineering mode.

Edit: I guess it's actually the spark cutoff which occurs at 6850. I've never seen rpms past that number

Is this why the gtpp cars can't hit the 60 mph on second gear? Or is the speedo off?

At night, the tach lights up red when its time to shift.

You need to be driving at night time and you can't have your MyColor set to red, and then floor it to 6500 RPM and watch the light show.

See the attached tables from the stock 2015 coyote:
The tables on the left are spark cut tables, and kick in first. As you can see stock is 6,850 rpm at normal operating temps. Basically the ECM will pull timing to less than zero (-2 degrees in my logs).

The fuel cut is 7,000 rpm, I've never hit it.

Most people seem to agree the stock motor is good to 7,500 rpm. I've got my fuel cut at 7,500 rpm and the spark cut at 7,300 rpm.

Installing VMP gen 6 stage 3 week. I want to avoid over reving which can stress rings and cylinders liners. What would you suggest setting rev limiter for safe reliable daily street use. Will never take track ?

Holy thread revival Batman!

just over ten years…gotta be a record

 

[GrabberBargeCaptain]

How do you even find a thread from that long ago and then reply to it? Genuinely confused

 

[CrazyHippie]

I have an on-the-fly variable rev limiter. Its hanging off the end of my right leg.
