I think its 5700, but dont quote me on it.
I took some buddies up to 145 sunday night, and if I remember correctly thats what it is. I dont floor and hold down my Z very often, but it its around there.

Stock redline is 5700, shift points at 5600. I got mine tuned to redline at 6200, and shift at 6100. The reason you are losing power in the top end is the fact that the engine is stock. I have the Hotcam, that is good up to 6000rpm, and holds power until it shifts, and shifts into the powerband, so it goes like hell... Stock engine is only going to do so much. Cam and Heads help nicely.

5800 is stock and I had mine adjusted to 6000 in tuning. Kinda strange tho because the other day in the rain I did a huge break burn and I looked at the rpm's and they were at 7000.
