The highest safe limit id say would be 6k. By safe I mean you could take it there as many times as you want and not worry about blowing the rods out of it. Ive taken mine to around 6300-6400 (hard to tell cos the tacho stops at 6000) and it had no problems, but at that rpm the piston speed would be appraching insane levels.

Long stroke engines dont like to rev. Just think, the pistons in an I6 at 6000rpm travel further per second than a v8 supercar on the rev limiter.
