I would keep it under 6500 RPM's with the stock rods/bolts and valve springs.

Your rear diff can break even with stock power. Not all do, but some have.

what year, what car? are you talking about all stock valvetrain components? be a little more descriptive and you'll get some better responses.

I think some guys spin their stock parts up to 6500 and live to tell about it, while others probably push 6800-7000 on aftermarket parts. it just depends on what you want and how much $$$ you got...try answering those questions at the beginning, first.

stock lifter and rockers will be fine. Rod bolts will stretch once you start spinning high RPM's.
