well u can command it to be @ 6200 but with the stall and speed it MAY carry (run out) a few more 100 rpms after that b4 the actual shift..even with a shift kit...
BTW ..u didnt say if u have a specific cam that has a certain power band that it likes to peak at so the question is a little broad..

Probably don't want to spin those old stock springs past 6200.

I'd be replacing springs before touching the limiter and when you push it, it generally supposed to be a few hundred RPM's more. Some out there have pushed further but have swapped out rod bolts. I would research the GEN III Internal section for more. You should get a good idea. IMO I think the stock cam is already topped out and unless the motor needs it, its just beating on it. But again, thats just my opinion.
