About 5K, if it even gets there due to restrictive intake and valve float. I don't think revving faster than a max is even possible.
in stock form they won't over-rev unless its a mechanical over-rev(I.E. downshifting)...that is why vw listed the max speed and cruising at the same...they are limited by the restrictive carb, intake, and cam.
Tell me the engine # / type and I will tell you max rpm and mph for all gears.

There is no where in hell you are to overrew a stock Vw aircooled on level ground, unless you downshift from a higer gear at high speed. That was a rather long sentence was it not?
