Put it on a rolling road and boot it for at least 30 minutes.

How's it a stupid question??? Every engine has a max safe rpm. I've got a disco engine (not in a disco) and I need to set the redline on my tach. So where is the redline on ur rev gauges? If this is still a stupid question then I am dumb as fook and really don't get why...........

Max BHP is at 4750rpm and there's a rev limiter to save distroying you engine.

I dont want to redline it that's why I'm asking. I currently don't let it rev higher than 3500 but sometimes want to push a bit harder. Just want to make sure I'm no where near. Is someone gonna give me a clue?? LOL or do I need to start looking through disco front windows like a car theif??? Haha......

TBH there aint no need to rev past 4500rpm with a V8, I just do cos I got a straight through pipe and it sounds like a V8 should

I hit the rev limiter in mine the other night, sounded awesome, fooked off the little tw@t in the Clio summat chronic
I know!!! Haha. Mines in a defender and is highly geared like a disco. People expect it to be slow, the look on there faces!!!!! :-D
Is the rev limiter in the distro or ecu? Mine used to be efi but is now on holleys with no ecu......

Yeah 4k is enough, there's no recline on a 3.5 200 series, it just starts getting shaky and you get too scared to rev any higher!
