With OEM rod-bolts, I'd be reluctant to exceed 8000rpm, but that is just me.
Remember, NASCAR engines run 9500rpm and more for hours and they are all >3-inch stroke.

So the stock Pistons/rods/crankshaft etc can handle 8800rpm if the rod bolts and oiling system are upgraded? Probably would want to use hr heads as well.
