safe to spin this high?

Want to get my car dyno'd again. I fixed my exhaust leaks and the engine was rebuilt about 750 miles ago so want to dyno it and see the difference from the last time. I was thinking about pulling it up to 6000rpms or so, but don't know if thats safe??
Also, what kinda gains should I see, if any, from the rebuild and fixing a header and y-pipe leak?

Stock mail order tunes adjust redline 6000, so I can't imagine it harming anything.

You should be fine spinning to 6k for the dyno runs.

If you are running the stock cam then the power will be petering out at 6K RPM. You will not hurt the engine.

Seeing that you are making 350 RWTQ I cant see you having the stock cam.

If you're running full roller rockers then 7K is hunky dory!
