Max stock rpm

Anybody know what the max stock rpm is for the stock 5.4L 3V in a 04 F-150?

I believe Mike Troyer said that the weak link in the F150 is the torque converter which is supposed to be rated @ 5500 rpm's

I believe the stock tune has the rev limit at 5200 RPM.

I start losing my power curve @ around 5300rpms. I can post my dyno sheet if needed.

Thanks for the replies. I lose alittle power at around 5200 rpm and at 5400 rpm the security light on the dash comes on and I lose all power until the revs fall below 5200 rpm again. I am guessing based on the above replies that 5200 would be a safe shift setpoint.
