Anywhere from 2500 to full throttle. The back of your owners manual gives
you the RPM vs altitude information. Use it and you'll be fine, and meet
book values.

When I had my 150, for trips I would push the throttle all the way in on
takeoff, and never touch it until I had the landing runway in sight. With
wheelpants it would do 100 knots on a good day.
