I get about the same maybe a little less but then again i have a racing set up. Holley 4 barrel carb, racingbeat intake heat sheild racingbeat exaust,13B streetport , 2mm apex seals, custom twin piping leading to a flowmaster exaust, ratsnest removed then customized, tweaked timing and distributor, racing sparks, pressureplate and light flywheel ...the works baby and I red line it everyday execpt this past week I've been having some troble with the antifreeze getting in the intake ports but that problem is solved and now i have to put the intake/carb assembly back on and I'm good .

 

With stockness there's no point to going that high, there's no useful power there.

When I rallyx I leave it in 2nd gear, which in our courses means about 3000-6000rpm, although I've been known to whack the redline buzzer halfway down a straight when it's slippery...
