How much to rev a boosted 5.3?

Hi

Im swapping in an lm7 in car and wonder how much would be ok to rev it?

Im change the cam but don't know yet To what. I will also use Comp Dual 675 spring/Comp Pushrods.

I have only worked with straight 6 before.

Would 6500 rpm be to much? The engine will be boosted for around 700 rwhp

Stock bottom end keep it under 6500 and it will live for a while with a good tune
