Default High Rev Questions???

I figured this would be a good way to start out my first post.

I have a 5.3 iron block lsx in a RHD 240sx(530sx) that I drift. I need more RPMS out of the engine and was needing some advice on my setup I'm doing here soon.

Im going for a higher rev build and was liking to be able to rev to around 7000-7500 rpms. So far I have stock internals with ARP 2000 rod bolts that had the proper install, double roller timing chain, ls7 oil pump, ls7 lifters, and factory heads shaved .024.
Soon I'm getting a Texas Speed MS4 cam, .675 dual valve springs, pushrods, and the comp rocker arm conversion for the bearings, and making a set of 1 7/8 longtubes, ls6 intake, and tune.

Was wondering if my setup would hold up to 7000-7500? And any advice on anything? Thanks!!!

The cam ramp speed is the key to being able to turn RPM. Faster ramp speeds will not turn high RPM as easily as slower ramp speed lobes will. The lobe design is the foundation upon which everything else is built.
