The values in the above quote are the settings for the 737-200ADV.

For the 737-100 this is what I use:

[TurbineEngineData]
fuel_flow_gain = 0.002                          //Gain on fuel flow
inlet_area = 9.6                               //Square Feet, engine nacelle inlet area //19.6
rated_N2_rpm = 29920                            //RPM, second stage compressor rated value
static_thrust = 14500                        //16000      23000
afterburner_available = 0                       //Afterburner available?
reverser_available = 1                          //Thrust reverser available?
ThrustSpecificFuelConsumption = 0.385             //Thrust specific fuel consumption (Jets)
AfterBurnThrustSpecificFuelConsumption = 0      //TSFC with afterburn/reheat engaged

So the poor 737-100 has trouble climbing higher than 32,000 but can get to 35,000 feet (it's service ceiling). I wouldn't want to try to get higher than that, it might not get there.

If I fly it at a maximum speed of about M0.78 (~465 - 480 knots GS), it would be hard pressed to exceed the maximum range of 1540nm. It consumed about 40-45% of the maximum fuel in 600nm (I do know that an awful lot of fuel was consumed in the takeoff and climbing phase), but I still wouldn't push for much more than 1200nm flight just be sure I won't run out o fuel, especially if I'm encountering strong head winds. :)
