Default How high would you rev?

how high would you rev a lq4 or lq9? someone told me the pistons are heavier than la1 pistons. I will be running either a heads and cam lq4 or a cam only lq9. with the cam im running i will want to rev as much as i can but i do not want the block to come apart at high RPM's. Whats the highest rpm thats still safe these blocks can take?
