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.
