Now, with the ATX you rev much less than MTX cars
Mine gets up to 5k-6k just about everyday. I really should start thinking abotu getting a DMD. I have nearly 90k now anything to look for before getting it. I'd hate to spend a couple of hundred bucks only to have the engine go a couple of days/weeks later.
Bro Like Demon, that's cruising for me on a daily basis. Each day I drive my tour it experiences on more than one occasion, revs up to 7600rpm, YES, you read correctly, 7600 Rotations Per Minute.
All this talk about "Crank Whip",
Look I've got 53,000 Miles on my SVT, I've calculated over 1000miles of legal off-road Road Course Racing, which Includes Solo 1/2 and Drag Racing. This doesn't include the daily stress I've incurred on this motor and the many run ins with the 'Curious ones' and might I add, most of those trecks on and off the street were done with a Lightened UDP, not the stock one and not the DMD and to date the car is superb. I run very
good/silky/smooth/lifesaving 
Amsoil 0w30 Racing Sytnthetic Motor Oil religously for most of the life of this motor and regularly change my oil filter with ( I only use Amsoil Oil Filters for the superb properties of filtration ). I have recently installed a DMD and notice the benefits of a much smoother motor especially above 6500rpm which I pay a visit and much beyond more than I need to.
I'm not trying to Jinks myself and I sure hope I don't, but the point I'm trying to get across is I personally think that the whole Crank Whip deal is a bit overdated/overthought/and IMO a bit OverLame. Seriously, talking about Crank Whip won't solve the problem a problem that IMO has been greatly exasperated. If Crank Whip Concerns you than just go get the DMD. A number here can remember over a year ago when I tried to make a production start of high quality racing dampers by Fisher which could of had an underdrive of about 20% along with much better properties of dampening then the current factory DMD we all have come to know and some use, it drew much attention but fell rather quick flat on its face simply because many felt it wasn't economically priced compared to the DMD which started to make an abrupt appeareance around the time due to the Fisher Damper. Unless you work for Ford or plan on making a major impact on how Ford will make there motors, Just take Crank Whip as what it is, an Issue with an Affordable Solution, which we can now offically call IAS...
