What RPM is considered redline for the 5.4

Was wondering what the RPM limit is on the 5.4 (2001) since the tach gauge doesnt indicate anything at all.
Thanx

when parts start flying from under the hood you have reached the limit, personally i wouldnt try to find out that way though.

They have a fuel shut off so I wouldn't worry about it. The motor will stop making any useable power before that shutoff anyway. If you want a guess I'll say 5500 RPM. The old 5.0 would shut off at 6250. I believe because of the increased piston speed/longer stroke 5.4, 5500 would seem about right.
