The limitations will more likely be dictated by spring loads, cam size (lift) and max RPM.

I'd imagine they'll be okay. I just fired my new motor up last night for the first time, and I'm running the Patriot Gold springs with a .646" lift cam and very aggressive ramp rates. I'll probably be running the motor up to 6500 or maybe a bit higher. I hope they'll hold up. Patrick G has the same setup with stock rockers and they work fine, though I think his may have been modified.
