If you want to be absolutely safe as far as valvetrain goes, 3200 max. That being said, many have done 4000 on stock springs. If you do it and keep doing it, its a ticking time bomb.

i was floating valves at about 3600 with over 50psi boost. if the boost was lower it would have been ok at that rpm.

Run it out till you hear them start to float then from now on dont go higher than that. I didnt have any problems with 3600rpm and 50psi.
