Rev won't pass 5k RPM

omgZ · 03-26-2011, 05:27 PM

Is it normal that my car wont let me rev pass 5k rpm while in neutral? I was testing the sound of my newly installed exhaust and it wont let me rev pass 5k rpm. However, it can go pass 5k while actually driving the car. Thanks in advance.

Normal. If you depress the clutch, you can rev past 5k.

But you shouldn't do it. The 5k limit is there for a reason.

That's because big lumbering V8 Mustang engines can't rev as high as the Z...

Maybe we'll have a go when I finish with my bolt ons.

I should be shifting around 7500-7700 after the tune.
