No difference it what it "can handle". Get on the dyno, see where you start tapering off and figure a safe rev limit from there.

i definately beleive it.
we usually rev stock head motors to stock rev limit or maybe 200-300rpms higher. they can be pushed farther but we dont take that risk nor suggest it for customer cars.
