Lot's of speculation regarding RPM's but it does not appear anyone has done their research.

The 482's on Keith's site call out a special grind Comp Cam hydraulic roller cam. I then looked at the Comp Cam site for FE hydraulic roller cams. Both sites list a maximum redline of 6200.

Please note that Keith does call out a "special grind", so it's possible that the 511 is higher, but if it is, I would not put it beyond 6500. It's the lifters that are the controlling factor.
