I've got the 3.7L too. Only 4k miles on it now, and won't be towing until racing season in the spring, so I'll see how that goes.

Only damn thing I wanna know is its red line. Can't find it anywhere!! [:@]

Yea, I saw that post too. Only one I could find, and 7k seems a lot to me.

I have the manual, that's why I asked. I don't feel like just letting it hit the rev limiter (assuming it has one) on its own. I'd like to know before I go that high.
