What does the cam card say it's good for?
I would imagine your not getting much power past what the camshaft can produce.
IMO spinning it past that point is only increasing your chance of blowing a rod or crank - since it's a stock rotating assembly, and not fully balanced.
Every Gen 1 motor I ever built or had built, I was told 6K is about it, unless I look into balancing to allow for higher RPM safely. (Yea yea bla bla gen 3 is so much better - whatever - it's still reciprocating mass)
Don't get me wrong...Im all for extra horsepower, BUT, To me - the very little you'll get isn't worth the amount of damage you can do.
