I'm the same way but I take mine to 6800-7000. If it is built good that shouldn't hurt it.

But I had one big block blow up ( didn't really blow up..broke a roller lifter) and it sidelined me for 2-3 years cause I lost the whole engine except the heads. :( and didn't have the cash for a new block at the time.

Me too. I am paranoid Floyd when it comes to the valve train. I lost a 454 because a lifter broke and cracked the block..
