Well I would follow Paul's advice if I were You. But I like to keep the Ford engines turning in the high range. I recently showed the Owner of a 2005 Roadster how I thought it should be driven. He was lugging the engine. The poor guy was horrified at the high RPM's I was turning. Actually they were not that high. I was just trying to find the "sweet spot" where the power was. My DHC has a '94 ZETEC engine. I am in the 7,000 RPM range constantly. This engine is fitted with Weber DCOE carbs and the "sweet spot" is over 5,000. Poor hearing is very helpful. I think I would like to destroy this engine so I could buy a later Cosworth/Duratec.
