Without knowing whats in it for cam and valvetrain, keep it under 5200. pull the oil cap and look at the rockers, are they regular stock stamped steel or do you have crane gold rollers??

It sounds like someone planned on running hard, so you can do what the rest of us do - beat it hard until it breaks! If it doesn’t break then you’re golden and if it does then it’s time for bigger power anyways!
