[QUOTE="Formula51, post: 9367666, member: 19833"] There was a thread I read where someone close with the Ford Racing Program said they were spinning around 7,500rpm safely and that only a few pushed it close to 8k and they backed down. Can't remember if tunning was the difficulty or what. Do we know the rpm limits of the syncros in the 6 speed tranny Ford will be using in the Mustang? There is not point in making power beyond the limits of where you can shift the car other than bragging rights. Hence, the 8400rpm 5.4 build D BIT referred to. The 5.0 should put around 350-360hp to the wheels stock. I expect we might see 100rwhp over stock from some serious but streetable and SHIFTABLE builds. How reliable the engine will be at that power and rpm will take some time to find out. Not sure what we will see from blower setups but people will have to find the new limit of the engine (rods).
