Talking How hard can i push this bottom end?

I am going to rebuild the bottom end with the Summit rebuild kit with the Speed Pro forged pistons. I am also going with the stage II I beam Summit forged rods. In addition to this I will be using ARP fasteners. What are your opinions on me pushing this bottom end to 6200 or maybe even 6400 rpms? This motor will not see alot of street time as it is a weekend cruiser and the car may not even see 10k miles a year. What do you think?

Alot of people spin stock bottem ends to 6500, so you should be fine with 6400.

Check out summit's website. Everything for the bottom end except rods, crank, and fasteners.
