I use 5000 as my redline with my ABA/8 valve hybrid.  I use 4000 as my top
sustained RPM, like when climbing a mountain in my 4th(I run a stock gear
5sp)
   you could google your particular motor's redline..
I just picked my own from personal preference and it's been good for over
1000k of my own driving.. bought the motor used.
