i've pushed a cast 383 with forged pistons to 7k on a burnout.. power peaked at 5800.. 383's dont like to rev either.. you should be fine.. just make sure your tuning is good and prevent detonation..

It will take it. I know a guy that takes a stock short block and spins 8000 RPMs every weekend. and I spin my 355 to 6000 RPMs and it has a cast crank and rods.
