At 2000 rpms that engine is still asleep. Maximum horsepower is 235 @ 4800 rpms and maximum torque is 290 ft/lbs @ 3200 rpms. If your Jeep has the High Output engine (eighth digit of VIN is "J") then you have 295 horsepower. You will feel strong acceleration mostly around 3000-3500 rpms and it will not hurt a well maintained engine. This engine is very strong and nobody ever said it's a slow poke. However it's never good to over rev any engine repeatedly.
