If you have stock connecting rods, I would put in a 5500 chip.

I think 2000 - 3000 would be a very safe RPM range. :) :)

I actually have a rev limiter on my buggy set to 6000

Did the spring have any rust on it? Were you running single or dual valve springs? Cb's new CB 650 dual valve springs are one of the best ones out there. A VZ 15 cam was designed for 1.1 rockers.
