For a stock engine, yes. I'd keep it below 5k for peace of mind. Not sure how you're getting a stock engine to make power up to 6k though; most taper off around 4500.

What about the rod bolts? Are they stock as well? If so, then I feel a lot better about skimping and not buying the ARP's when I did my rebuild.
