7000rpms?

I need some advise. . . .I'm wondering how safe it would be for me to take my rpms to 7000. I have a custom cam 240/244 duration, 612 intake and exhaust lift, with 112 lsa, .650" dual gold spring,titanium retainer,machined steel locks, hardened spring seats and gm seals. My peak hp occurs at 6000rpms and peak torque at 5200rpms. However, I noticed on the dyno graph that the hp isn't dying off after 6500rpms, is it worth it carry on to 7000rpms?

The rest of the mods are in the sig.

Thanks
