Larry,
Just to be clear about the 80%, that's just my personal "comfort level",
that also allows for some margin of error, which is bound to happen, even
with a rev limiter. But it's more the concept I'm trying to convey than the
precise numbers, which vary with each individual case.

Bob, interesting point on the shift points. I understand having the
revs in the sweet spot, but how did the 80% come about.
If I have the stock motor and cam from the 90 5.0L, and its max hp is at
5200 rpm, the the shift point is 6500 rpm. That is quit a jump, and
with stock valve train, mainly springs, I am sure that valve float would
become a problem.
