I've had a mod motor with my wife's Mach since 03, but that car has never been driven hard at all. I seriously doubt it's ever seen 6k let alone 7krpm. haha.

All of my foxes were on the right side, my wife's Mach is on the right and my Explorer is also on the right. So it's habit to drive up to the pump on that side.

Steve this is because you never drive your car

Any who, for me since I'm on the stock tune the factory rev limiter is set at 7k so I try to shift right at 6850-6900rpms so I don't bounce off the limiter. If I see the gauge go red half the time I will screw the shift up since I don't have a lot of time before it bangs off the limiter so I try to do it right before.

first time at the track shifted ~6800 since the stock intake makes no power above that.

got curious, upped my shift to ~ 7300 and picked up 3 mph. So since then I shift at that rpm. But at that rpm I would be more comfortable with good oil pump gears and an ATI harmonic damper. But since I don't really race that much...meh.

+1 on 7,300 with the stock intake.

Damper is easy enough to do and good insurance.

7300 - 7500. Car is still pulling pretty hard which makes it easy to go north of 7300.
