I don't really know. It seems that the guys that know are pretty tight-lipped, but I think 5500-6500 might be a decent guess with 7k being a top number. I think the inherent behavior of the diesel injection event and burn time to be a limiting factor in ultimate rpm. The crank/rods/valvetrain 'could' be made to live a higher revving life, but the time for the actual fuel to burn takes too long in a diesel. (not just the oily fuel, but any Heterogeneous charge compression engine) where fuel is injected into a "dry" cylinder with ignition caused by compression alone.

My personal "wood getter" will boost to 70psi and still cloud 6 lanes of traffic with soot if you're not careful. It'll rev cleanly to about 4500 but it's still a pretty "mild" setup by modern standards. I know that I've broken my NV4500 transmission 2 times, once I stripped 3rd gear, the next time I broke the end off the mainshaft. It's not happy below about 2200rpm. If I run the revs up it's a lot nicer.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, higher revs make for longer life when you're making big boosted power. Steve Morris had to reconfigure his Drag-Week (gasoline/alcohol) engine from a lower revving (7500) high boost deal to a higher revving lower displacement, higher boost engine to make it live. I think his new combo is 9200rpm at the top, but he made that car run in the 5.7s and survive 1000 miles on the street. Rumored horsepower is 4000+ (Tom Bailey's "Sick Seconds 2.0")
I've been in the Steve Morris shop b4. Not sure where it is now. That was years ago when he was at wizards motorsports. I heard he's in muskegon hts in the back of another shop. All speed? I think.

I think Steve sold his business to someone after working in the AllSpeed shop back in about '07. He moved to New Era working with someone else ( I think Kyle Kirker) where they built full cars and he built engines.

I think he's been on his own again for about 10 years now. He's right near the Muskegon airport now. I'm just parroting junk that I've read online. I hadn't been in the shop since the AllSpeed days either.
