I wasnt sure about whether to post this question as its a silly one

I have a 1989 360 GLT and AFAIK i cant seem to rev it past 5400 rpms although the engine it has in the manual states it produces max power at 5800 rpms.

(take note i have only done this test once or twice in the past and generally dont like revving the nuts out of any engine-even if its warm plus the stockB200E in my car doesnt seem to like revving past 4500rpm really )

What do your volvos rev up to guys? ANn thoughts?

What happens at 5400rpm? Should rev to atleast 6250rpm (rev limiter on some GLT's), maybe even higher if your Renix unit doesn't have the rev limiter!

I think mine has a limiter.I have seen an indicated 5700-5800 rpms but when i did (and it the engine was warm i promise) it seemed to take a long time to rev up to there,sounded strained (the noisey fan doesnt help though),and i found that it seems to loose a lot of power after about 5400-5500 rpms.

Maybe its just my tachometer reading slighty off? Maybe im just bieng fussy ?
