MarkGT08 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 The article states that it "allows" a bump up to 7500 RPM based on the breathing only. I think the engine still needs to be modded to be able to safely rev that high. I thought the redline limit was all about how much the crank/piston/valves could take before they are stressed beyong design specs. I don't think you could just bolt on the manifold and then suddently rev it to 7500 RPM without making some major internal mods. Am I wrong?

68fastback Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 They're just saying it will support 7500rpm ...engine still has to be built to take that. I'm wondering if this isn't a spinoff from development of the 400HP 5.0 Coyote spray-bore revised-modular coming next year to the '11MY M-GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
