Keep it below 5000 RPM and ye should do jus fine. Much above that and
the harmonics will do in a stock bottom end in no time.
Now with a nitrided, cross drilled crank, Carillo rods
(http://www.carrilloind.com/), ARP bolts (http://www.arp-bolts.com/),
Harmonic dampener
(http://www.racetorations.co.uk/catalogue/damper_1.html), lighter
flywheel (http://www.tsimportedautomotive.com/)
You should have a decent bottom end. If you want to go above 6000 RPM
you might want to seek out a clutch disk made with a better material.
