I wouldnt take it past 7k. Those y7 bottoms ends are notorious for spinning rod bearings because of the weak oil pump.

'best'. Subjective.

For performance? For fuel economy? For engine longevity? For smoothness?

You could put a different oil pump in it, and that would help. But you really need to get a new one and port it out to really be safe at elevated rpms and power levels. Search DIY oil pump porting for more info.
