Max hp is right around 4250 rpm anyway. Higher rpms will not hurt this engine. Just a different motor to what we all used to have. Way different experience for me compared to the 4.6 and 5.4's i've had in the past.
The 5.0 (and 6.2) are very rev happy. I drove an older 5.0 for a day and didn't feel bad running it all through the RPM range. It was fun to hear it make some noise!
