I am not sure if you intend that comment as a joke, but please be a bit more gracious and appreciative to those people who are volunteering their time to help you.

If you looked the engine up on-line, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4A-FE
you would know that the 4A-F and 4A-FE versions were virtually identical except for the fuel delivery system. This means the reciprocating assembly was virtually the same and the redline recommendation made by drdisque is valid (and is confirmed in Wikipedia).

IMHO I think revving a 20 year old engine to redline is asking for trouble.
Also, 6300 rpm is well past the 4800 rpm torque peak. You will go faster if you shift before 6300 rpm.
