Question Rod bolts okay within certain RPM range going to FI?

I currently am running a 01 LQ4 with stock 317 heads with ARP bolts with a custom cam 232/238 .599”/.601” with the stock 9.4:1CR. running a 10” 3300stall and soon to be built 4L60E w/3.73 gears. I’m planning on going most likely with some sort of CSC style pushing no more than 8-10psi with whp range in the 475-500. My question is as long as the WOT shift points are under a safe RPM, the stock rod bolts would they be okay? What I mean is, if I have my WOT shift points at 6000 but the actual is like 6200, the rod bolts would be within a safe zone?
also what type of CSC would you suggest for my application i mentioned above, D1/F-series?
TIA

01 LQ4 will have the better later designed rod bolts, should have no problem at 6200 rpms

Ive spun my stock rods & bolts to 7200 numerous times and hit 7500 once by accident and it runs fine. Not saying you should do the same, just saying it so you feel a little better about 6200
