6500-7k. if you dont have hardened pushrods you will probbally bend them at 6500 maybe a lil more.

thanks

150 in 3rd gear??? Maybe if you push it out of the back or a airplane! Please reference the pic from where the guy put is car in 1st at 60. That's what's going to happen when you put your car in 3rd at 150. When you try it PRETTY PLEASE make sure there are no other cars around AND take a camera with you.

well, i corrected myself about 1st and 2nd. but i'm positive about 150 in 3rd, did it a couple of times already.

ok, i just drove mine:
1st = 50 @ 5500
2nd = 90 @ 5500

...again: A4 + 2.73 rear

I was going to raise the BS flag at first because I didn't realize it was an auto. I think 3rd tops out somewhere ~100mph with the M6.

According to the calculator I posted earlier, you're right assuming the 2.73 axle:
