Depends on where you are wanting to shift and where the powerband is on your cam. If I had to guess. Safely 6300-6400, Unsafe 6800-6900 on stock rod bolts.

I wouldnt go over 6500 with stock rod bolts. It may be ok to go higher for a while, but once the rod bolt stretches, its lights out and time to pull the motor.

like posted above you want to set it were the power starts to fall off. for example my 230/224 started to fall off at about 6k, so i had my limiter set at 6300. this way when i shift ill be right back in the powerband.

I wouldn't go higher then 65k with stock bottom. see where the cam starts to drop and I would set it about 300rpm's past power drop off so when u shift u r at the powerband.

with a 99, the 6500 limit is a good recommendation. 2001+ cars are usually good for 6800 or better without incident. Sadly the earlier rod bolts are a bit on the anemic side.
