Peak horsepower is at about 4400 rpm, after which the torque will drop off substantially........so........it's unlikely that the engine will climb much above this level when pushing air at 100 mph or so.

As for the redline where the engine won't tolerate additional speed........that's more of an uncertainty. Brandon has run them over 5K without any consequences.
