I'd think somewhere around 5-5500 It's screaming pretty good around 4200

79 250 Ranger Lariat 4wd 400 C6 3.55's 33x12.50 16.5's
78 Bronco Custom 4wd 400 C-6 3.50's 31 10.5 15's
66 Mustang Coupe Sports sprint 200 c-4 cruise o matic 3.00's

Well, when i had my auto trans go out, one of the things it did was it dropped it into first at 49 MPH and held the engine at 6700 RPMs before I could get her shut down. (via Super Sun-Tach II) It didn't seem to damage the engine in any way, I had her checked over,but I would say redline would be a little under this of course.
