I think it's fine so long as you don't bounce off the rev limiter.

Deisregard that statement... you don't have a rev limiter. LOL

Stock lower end? I wouldn't take it much past where the stock rev limiter would kick in

With an e cam, you are going to run out of the power long before you damage the engine.
Operating range of an E is only up to 5500rpm.
