Default rpms /rev limiter 496 mag ho

Does anyone know the rpms where merc 496 mag ho rev limiter kicks in? I want to make sure to be a little under it with my props and couldn't find anything online other than the recommended 4600-5000 rpm range. One guy on a forum said 5125 rpms but not sure where it came from or if true?

Cool

Going to be at desert storm. I know Mercury will be there. Do you think they will have any demo props? Would love to try a labbed maximus.
