5.7 crusing RPM

I have a 2000 FV 242 with a 5.7 TBI 260 hp, anyone know the beat cruising RPM? It seems happy around 3500, but cannot find any test information for this model.

    lots of variables... wind, current, displaced weight.... will vary. 

    a vacuum gauge, if installed, will tell you all kinds of things about load.  finding a RPM that comfortably keeps you on step and that registers the highest vacuum signal you can get is going to be your sweet spot... 

    i imagine the VV devices key off of MAF/MAP signal, which is for all practical purposes vacuum, to project it's data to users.
