Default Safe Redline limit for 5.0?
Ok...I have a 2013 Crew 5.0. With a SSI Tune! Wanted to know if its safe for these new 5.0 motors to rev past the factory redline? I nailed it in first with Shawn new Gen 4 tune...power feels awesome..but it shifted into second at like 6500-6700rpm's. is this safe for this motor? I know tithe Stang 5.0 luv to rev high. Not sure about this truck one? I dunno about the other gears shifting at..got scared after I saw where it shifted!! Lol ..input?

It's not an issue. Every tune I have had from him since the T series has shifted between 6400 and 6700. Coming from a 5.4 it's kinda weird cause the stock 5.4 with a tune didn't really do anything in that range. With the stock intake I cant see going any higher. I'lld be curious to see the power curve as it gets up there. Regardless, scream away, you aren't going to spin it apart by any means
