 Subject: why such low redline/ Do I have a rev limiter
IP: Logged
Message:
I was wondering why my 5.2 lt has a redline below 5. Usually most v8's can be cranked out to about 6000, 6500. Does my 97 318 have a rev limiter and if it does has anyone seen were it limits. Thanks

Are you talking about the redline on the tach or when your rev limiter kick in? If you're talking about the redline on your tach, I think Dodge wanted to give plenty of warning. The redline on my '99 v6 starts at 4600 (actually yellow) and the changes to red at 5000 (if memory serves me correct). My rev limiter kicks in at 5400 though.

The SB Mopar's have never been able to run reliably at 6000rpm without a lot of help.
If you're referring to the newer V8's, there's a lot to do with "redline" than just stompin on the gas pedal and driving it until the valves float...Cam design, Roller or Non-Roller, pistons, rods, crank, etc.

Not reliable @ 6,000 RPM? SB Mopar's 340's has the same stroke and rod length as 318. With shift points depending on camshaft power curve and valve springs to match, Redlines of 7,000 plus rpm is common. I never heard of a sb mopar having blown from over rev. in a street car. To say not reliable what are you saying? 6.123 Rod length,with 3.31 Stroke The block will handle much more than your stock to slightly modified dakota can dish out.

Your 5.2 is a truck build. the stock valve train is only safe to about 5300 rpm . Change whats on top of the heads and you can turn it alot faster. The stock intake , heads , and cam won't let it make alot of power above 5000 rpm.
