Not on stock valvetrain or bottom end. Basically you need to have the entire motor rebuilt and machined VERY GOOD if your planning on revving a motor that high.

Is this a street motor? If it is then there is no need to rev it that high. Most of the time motors that rev high like that are full out drag racing motors.
