I have pulled 4500 in my 3.90 equipt. 5 spd....
and it was still pulling... Might have rolled up to
5000 rpm if I dared it... I never drove that fast
before, so I backed off.

Side note:

Checked my speedo (70 mph) vs. my friend's
handheld GPS... It read 68-71... locking in on
a 69 mph average... So with 255-60-15's on a
92-96 model your speedo should be right on.
