i'm pretty sure the rev limiter kicks in at 5K on the 3.9L (4800 is where the power really drops off) unless its modded. theres only one way to find out where the limiter is :-) the 3.9L I had, had the best power around 3K or so. so try to keep your shift points so the next gear will land you in that range... its going to take some experimenting, just find a back road and give er' hell!!

just my .02
