Hi Gregg,
I agree, when you look at the MSD tech sheets it starts to steal alternate cycles approx. 200 RPM before you hit the hard stop....let's you know you are getting close.
With the 6200 you feel the soft stop at approx. 6000 otherwise it starts to steal cycles at 5700 - 5800. With the 427 set up right they easily wind up to the top of the rev limiter very quick.
I love sound of the big block 427SO when you twist its neck, the highway is clear or on a long freeway ramp. The sound on the track comes through the helmet even with ear plugs and the view from helmet is a mental place I visit when I need a break.
