What the stock engine can do without damage is about 5000 rpm, the FI injectors 
can't go much above 5500, so they serve as a kind of built in rev limiter.

Most of the time 4000 will be faster than you will want to go. The rest of the 
time it won't hurt most meters to pin them for short periods of time.
