I shift at 6100, and go thru the traps at 6700 to 6800... I tried shifting at RPM's up to 7000, it didn't go any faster. So, there is no sense turning it any harder than needed......

Till just before a pushrod breaks through a rocker and comes out the valve cover....or you drive over the crank. But up to that point, you're fine...

More information is needed to answer the question you have asked. You can Rev a motor beyond its maximum HP range and it will drop off in HP but still gain in RPM. My Race Hemi 430 CI was shifted at 9000 RPM, through the traps at 9900 RPM, making power. Good equipment is a must and good heads and cam and exhaust and intake is also a must. A 440 needs the same things, still a stock 440 motor is good to 5500 to 6400 RPM for making power depending on what 440 motor. The 440 bottom end has the same basic mathematics as a Hemi so you choice via you parts how high it can Rev.

Once at the track, my buddy missed the 2-3 shift in his Charger. He claims he pegged the tach (8k). I'm not sure what was louder: the noise the engine made or the profanity he yelled, because we heard both. Several weeks later we learned exactly how much damage was done.
