5000 was a safe limit to run in and tune nicely on a dyno whilst respecting the drive line

so there is the potential for more if you wanted it? by raising the limiter... is it actually built to withstand the stress at 7000rpm? or do you have it set at 5000rpm to purely look after the drivetrain?

600hp, I can see why lol, great car. When I first seen it a few years ago in Performance Ford magazine, it was the car that made me buy an AU, and eventually join aufalcon.com, so in a way I have you to thank for everything.


Cheers

James

Was just a pure joy to see this thing fire up at the Gold Coast all ford day and the spectacle that is caused there! the way the motec dash tells you WOAH! and the flames that would make the best BBQ Chefs cringe!

i walked away wiping the drool away and then steve started the RDP Ute up...more drool:(

Laminge - All the best in getting this baby legal and please bring her out in qld before you snatch her back to mexican land
