V12 redline?

V12 redline?
Hey guys,
The V12 love to rev, but where is the proper redline, at which the engine will limit the rpm to?
As I'm doing the TH400, I want to adjust the modulator to allow full throttle reving in 1st and 2nd to the redline and then a shift. Or basically until the redline begins... I habe something like 6500 rpm in the back of my head, is that right?
Cheers
Damien

Hmm... Does that matter if Marelli or not? I mean, I know these engines will rev their guts out if wanted, but I didn'to really want to do that. If the red line starts at 6500, then that is where I make the full throttle switch at. Waste of time having a tranny on a V12 that will omchange gear at 5500 rpm on an engine willing to rev higher... I doubt i'l use it, but if it says so in the dash, then I'll do so...

i do it a little different , rev past the torque peak so when it shifts its right in the torq. peak , so starts pullin up to HP peak!
the 6.0L cars i have driven feel like its wasting time after peak torq. around 4500 RPM, altho will run out around 5500 or more but seems to be screaming not pulling.
i,m a accelleration guy , not really a top speed guy, i like things to be done by 120 /130mph.
of course on autobahn things may be different..
now dont forget we are talking yestedays performance cars , todays hi perfromance cars will leave us in the dust, on both acell, and top speeds.

The engine will run to like 7800 before the valves start bouncing in the springs.
As the tach shows, its 6500, I think the pre-he and HE variants make peak power around 5500, but obviously your concern is shift points, which is entirely dependent on the transmission. You are trying to find where the difference in torque between the two gears would be minimal.
