IIRC, in drive, the limiter is 6750. It's all programmed into your PCM so that you don't throw a piston through your hood. The stock con rods and pistons are cast. You woudn't want to go over 7k rpms. BP Ben ---'96 Contour GL * Zetec ATX * Tan on Black steelies--- +++JRSC M62 Under Construction+++ My big-a$$ mod list.

BTW, I just checked my datalog. When floored, mine shifts at a max of 6400rpm.
