Default LSX highest RPM?

What is the highest RPM power curve to be known on a LSX. For example: a LS6 pulling up the 7500RPMs and making Max Power. I know it depends on how the motor is built but what have people seen out there..... Could I build a LSX motor that could pull 8k RPM's?

That sponser would be me. My engine makes power in the 9000 rpm range, and see 9800 to 9900 rpms evey shift at the drag strip.
