Mechanically, about 6000 RPM.

Induction-wise, about 4600 RPM.

On the dash trim package, 5000 RPM I think (like it really matters)

Which one do you like best?

The motor makes NO POWER WHATSOEVER at that RPM, with TPI on it. It is therefore of no importance.

The induction limit is the one that matters.
