L98 Limits

Hey everyone, I plan on running AFR 190's and a lt4 hotcam on my L98. My question is where do you think my peak horsepower would be at. I don't really want to push the stock bottomend of my L98 to or beyond 6000 RPMs, and if this combo does that, I'll spend my money on beefing up my engine instead. Also, what exactly are the limits of an L98. I have it swapped into my 92 RS, and have no idea where the redline is, nor how much power it is safe to handle. Any advice would be appreciated

I've been spinning mine to over 6000RPM for years, daily. Do I expect it to blow up one day? Yes. Do I trust it enough to start using a power-adder? Yes. I'd say these L98's are pretty strong when taken care of.
