Hi Carl,
The standard value for speed/rpm is 14.4 mph/ 1,000 rpm in top gear. As
far as limits go --- it's a matter of preference. Some folks think it's
great sport to run up to 5000+ with regularity. I think of the $$$ for
crankshafts and connecting rods and picture a redline at 4500. But I
must admit that the 4.3 rear end helps a good bit.
