Till they explode...... 
seriously i wouldn't use one in a performance application much past 6600-6800 rpms...... any motor that can rev past that you probably have enough money in to invest in a better ignition setup...

I spoke with an engineer at Bothwell Electronics who designed the optispark and it was tested to 10,000 rpm with 1/2 degree variance. It is a real nice piece in a lab enviroment but not real good in real world applications.
