My buddy ran this cam on a 112 in his M6, and it liked the shift light set to around 6500. With that said, the actual shift rpm will be a bit higher because from the time you see the light and react, the rpms have climbed further. So the actual shift was occuring after 6500, and he didn't have issues bumping the limiter, nor did I when I drove it, which was set to 6800.
His was a 00 model which has the weaker rod bolts like yours.

You dont have to spin it to the moon, but, the stock rev limit isn't enough. That cam will peak in the 6200-6300ish range, BUT, you don't shift at peak power, you shift a bit after it otherwise you fall too far out of the power band.

Miles don't matter to the motor unless you race or abuse the **** out of it. If you drive it regularly and change oil regularly, then you can run a 228r cam and still be safe with a good tune.
