    HELP 2005 5.0 MPI OVER REV

    Unless you paid money to balance the motor and to pay for engine fuel maping. It can't turn 6000 RPM My guess is your tach is set to 6 cylinder and you were turning 4800 RPM You will know when you bounce off the rev limiter

    Paragon to Velvet drive swap

    you realize that the crank required to change to a RH motor does not exist for a 1-piece RMS motor the cost to custom machine a crank may exceed the price of changing the rotation direction on the velvet drive. do you have series 71 units or 5000 series units?

    Paragon to Velvet drive swap

    shouldnt need to make one counter rotating. the velvet drive should be easily set up to run CW or CCW as RH motors do not exist anymore.
