Default RPMs with stock short block

Well looking at different ways to build the car.

and was wondering how high you can run a stock short block RPM wise with a ARP rod bolt replacements. Going to the machine shop tomorrow to get a bunch of different quotes on what I want to do with my car.

7K here. I shift around 68-6900 but it has hit the limiter a few times on accident. I don't have arp bolts either. My shortblock is stock. If your oil pressure is good, that USUALLY means the clearances are real tight. My oil pressure is 30ish at a warm idle, and goes to 60 at wot.
