If it's in good shape, don't be afraid to take it right up close to =
redline.  The engineers who specified that redline knew what they were =
doing.

  Subject: shift points for older engines



  Anybody who's running an older engine (mine has 120k + miles on it),
  how hard is it safe to run it?  I'm wondering if I coddle mine too =
much,
  e.g. I tend to upshift at around 2500 to 3500 rpm, and rarely rev past =

  4000 in any gear. =20

  It's a stock 8 valve, late '84 and being sorta poor I need to have the =
most
  fun, for the longest time, with the least risk of blowing it up.  :)

  Leo
