Default How high to rev the motor

I have the 228R camshaft, Crane Double Valve Springs, Titanium Retainers, Hardened Spring Seats, Valve Seals, and Texas Speed & Performance Hardened Pushrods on the way. I would just like to know what you guys would recommend for a redline. I did a search and came up with about a 6500 RPM redline. But I don't know what I should do yet.

Mine made power all the way to 6800. Waiting for good weather to try out shift points at the track. Good luck.

Dyno it up to 6500, if it still hasn't hit peak then put in some ARP rod bolts and rev it till it stops making power. That's what I'd do.

ARP rod bolts you mean in case someone doesn't know.
