I have a 250 alloy head and i shift at 6800-7000

 

bout 5000 is the end of the power for an ohc 6 in mild tune

what sort of work have you done mate? is it the EFI model and what is your power band like? eg. does it start from 2000rpm or from 5000rpm?

 

The stock 4.0 OHC in my ED hits 4500-5000 every now and again.. redlines at 5000, but considering they're not exactly the revviest engine in the world it isn't too thrashy at all... bit breathless but

 

my Au 4.0 in my EB will rev to rev limit cleanly, at 5600... all it has is a small cam..
My 250 in the cortina will go to 6500 no wories, im running an after market ecu, and have set rev cut at 6200, just to keep it all together for a bit longer. Cam and valve springs will get a 250 or a 4.0 reving over 5000 cleanly

 

My ef is happy at 6000rpm, sounds sweet up there as well.

 

my CFI used to rev out to 5300rpm and shift smoothly into 2nd @ 95 km/h (using the gears)

 

My EL futura shifts at about 5200 rpm if I leave my foot buried but it doesn't seem to do much more than letting it shift at 4500

 

Hit the rev limiter by accident in mums EL for the 1st time last night. Foot was burried and gear selector in 1. planned on moving it at 5500 so it shifted just before the redline. Obviously im a little slow. It worked great the 1st time, but the 2nd time it JUST tagged the limiter. You can REALLY feel the power drop away after 5500 in the EL motors...and they're not sounding particularly great at this speed either. It shifts a bit before 5500 in D with power mode on.

 

The falcon 6's are not the revviest engines due to their longer stroke, however, with enough $$$ and time... you can get it revving to whatever you want.

Hi mate, its an 82 model block with a highly modified head (398hp) custom wiseco pistons to suit the preped 200 rods, full stud kit, balanced bottom end, 600 dp 70 /75 jets. Custom pipes by noiseworks in brisbane into 3' mandrel bent exhaust, c4 4000 stall by burpengary trans, borgy with 4.11 gears. 26x9 dot american racers, msd etc, I run it the other night 12.8@ 107 with pipes up cleaner on etc . But its not tuned yet and i'm still having timimg issues. It should run 12.5 /12.4 in street trim then i'll hit the bottle as thats what its built for. It runs a gas cam and convertor. Cheers Don Oh and its power band is awsome the convertor is very tight. If it wasn,t full manual it would drive like a stocker
