3500? Damn.
In my old Contour, also a V6 although not a 3.0, I'd be lucky to see 2300-2500 with the brakes holding back the car, and that was with the gas matted to the floor.
Even the Zetec I have now doesn't go near 3000 before stalling. How did you get yours so high?

i ahd my torque converter modified for a higher stall.
i went with a no-name company that was half the price of level 10, and thats why i had issues with it. you get what you pay for!
