Rpm limit on stock rods/pistons

[Bmeagher]

I finally made my appointment to get tuned at Horsepower soultions in Edmonton. With fr500 intake "short runner only", comp 106100 cams, gt followers, PAC springs, hooker longtubes, o/r x pipe.

So what rpm will the fr500 peak with tho's cams ?
And what are the rpm/horsepower limit of stock internals ?

I also will be using 01' cobra ecu, which I already tested to 7500

Your on borrowed time Bro at 7500 rpm.

You'll be fine. Ran mine to 7k all the time and you've got a better equipped topend

I'd like run it to at least 7300 on the dyno. See how far I can push her into the 400's

heard from the grape vine under 7500 can be done

7500 on powdered metal rods would make me cringe every time. I wouldn't take those rods above 6500 but that's just me.

I would not run an old factory balancer that high.

I'm running a march performance damper

Ps.... Anyone running a short belt setup?

Not me. Don't you need electric water pump?

When are you going to hit the rollers? I bet that thing is really going to make great power up top any way good luck and keep us posted.

Good luck being a guinea pig, I'm sure others are just as curious. Didn't the 96 cobra's have a 7200 rev limit? I wouldn't be afraid to run it to that, anything higher would increase the pucker factor.

When are you coming to Edmonton? I'd like to see the car on the dyno.

Nope... You can get away with just running the water pump & alternator.

I'll post the old run file over the new one.

7200-7300 will be my limit. I'm heading down the 12-13th to Calgary for some training. Then getting tuned the 19th or 20th. My buddy's getting his 10' GT, e-force/ meth tuned the same day. And then off to Castrol Friday night.... If all goes well

 

[Kcobra99]

I should be at castrol then, I'll have to keep an eye out for your car.

 

[Bmeagher]

It'll be me and the Gt. The boss won't be able to make it

 

[Kcobra99]

I'll probably be out with my Marauder or Mach 1 if I break something.

Any #s yet?

Just finishing up some last minute mod's. I'll be on the rollers in Mid July.

I'll post up for sure, good or bad.
