5.0 cobra motor redline?

Post by Bguetter »

What is the redline of our cobra motors? Does the computer pull spark or fuel at redline?

Also, on a stock motor, what are rpm do you guys shift for 'spirited' :twisted: acceleration?

Thanks. Wasn't sure how accurate the tach markings were compared to what's actually happening in the computer. 8)
