Safe Rev Limit, LS vtec, a/m valvetrain, ARP's?

Hi. I've got an LS vtec with BC Spec 3+'s, Buddy Club valvetrain, ARP head studs and rod bolts and the usual bolt-ons. I know with these cams the power will dip off around 7900rpm, but regardless of that what is the max I can rev to? Thanks

just curious have you upgraded you ignition system because i dont understand how power would fall off at 7.9k with came like that 302 advertised duration and exhaust 294 and 10.71lift doenst really make sense elaborate for me yea...??? you said you have valvetrain work so you have springs and retainers and valves so why would you not be able to have power higher if valvetrain isnt replaced that would explain why since it would be floating..... please explain and clear this hazy bubble!!
