I am only chiming in because the experts have not addresses the red line question. Some here are sure to know the red line designed per Ford. But I know that 2200 is advertised as 40 HP. that will give you 50 MPH. I have heard two numbers for red line. I think 2700 is the design limit. Some will say 2500 RPM. 2500 is 57MPH. 2700 is 61 MPH.
