You'll be fine. I mean obviously the risk of failure goes up the higher you rev but if there are no underlying issues you should have no problem reving to 7400. Ever since 22k miles i reved to 7200, then when I put the ported head on at ~48k shortly after the TVS I reved to 7400 on stock springs until about 55k miles, then I put valve springs in and rev to 7600 or 7800 once in a while. 62k on mine now. With the cams it will be 7800-8k on just valve springs.

Stock shafts. Plenty of guys do it, and even rev higher on them.

Yeah the more you can rev the TVS the more time you will spend making power. You will start to feel that the car wants to keep pulling past the limiter, instead of the last few hundred rpm just being there to get you into good position for the next gear like on the M62.

I've gone to 8k on the stock bottom end. Once. It was an accident. And won't happen again till NBS and ati.

I know a guy that went over 10k on a completely stock motor. It didn't survive.
