Sean,
I have the 3.21 rear end and the 5 spd. At the time, I was in fourth
gear but did not happen to look at the rpm when it died. I tend to
drive by feel and don't always pay attention to the tach. If I ever
have it that fast again, I'll check the tach. I don't think it was over
5000 rpm though.

Ryan
