Did any Camaro 82-90 have a Tach with a warning
at 5500/6000 and Redline at 6000 RPM's?? Any
V-6's rev that high?? Any info would help.

By a warning do you mean the yellow line?
Check the V6 cars they rev about 1000rpm higher than the V8's.

 

Yes the yellow would be the warning before
redlne, and yes I just posted this question
on the V-6 forum. Thanks

 

5500 yellow, 6000 red

 

84' T/A 305HO. My friend's did. That's the only one I've ever seen. It could have had a V6 gauge cluster in it though. The car was 14 years old when he bought it, so anything is possible.

89 Transam GTA, 350TPI, auto, 3.27 rear, dual cats, gray.
Magnaflow cat-back,
K&N open element,
Best E.T. 14.63@95mph

 

My 86 TA does, and so did my 85. I'd take a look at 84-85 Z28's, HO or TPI cars, maybe some 86's, and possibly the 90-92's with the TPI and stick may have it.

 

my 1987 305 IROC 5 speed has yel 5500 and red 6000

------------------
1987 Black 305 TPI 5spd IROC, seems to be fully loaded, but can't find RPO codes.

ok this applies to the 85-89 for sure,
the only camaros with a 5500 yellow 6000 red are the v6 camaros, my 87 iroc listed in sig. has the yellow 5000 red 5500, i dont beleive any camaros other than the stick cars(305 with the L98 cam) got the 5500 rpm redline all the other TPI auto cars i have seen like my buds 86 iroc have the 4500 yellow 5000 red.the L98`s probably have the 5kyellow, 55k red.. but i am not sure

so CAMARO6SPD you might want to double check your gauges and if it is a 6k redline, its from a v6.
when my new motor is done, i am going to have to get a 6k tach from a v6

SD L98s have 5,000 yellow and 5,500 red. This is what my 91 L98 GTA has.

 

I think all 350's had 5000 yellow and 5500 red
