LONGBOX55 'Bolter L Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 DANVILLE IL	I don't think that 3200 will hurt it, I ran some numbers (bore/stroke etc) through a formula I found in an auto math manual, and come up with about 4500 rpm as a max redline for a 235. I've had mine up to 3700 rpm with no ill effects. Bill Burmeister
