A 302 will indeed pull more than 5300. With a turbo or supercharger, it will keep pulling stronger until the head gaskets "pop".

Any reason why a 302 won't pull more than 5300rpm???  (its an age thing
- seems like there is an electrical misconnection that might limit rpm?)



Any help appeciated.



Thanks,
