Perhaps one of the really savvy VE guys can chime in. I haven't really played with the springs much. But I thought that the N1 cams could actually rev higher than that without float on stock springs. I thought the N1 springs were actually not as strong, but I could be wrong here. Can't remember where I heard that.
The stock sr16 cams should be good to 8500rpms without problems, but I am not sure on this one either. Nissan likes to have a good 500rpm to play with for safety, and the sr16 revs to 8000 stock, so I would think that 8500rpm would be safe with even the smaller cams.
The N1 has a very slow ramp angle from what I understand. I haven't actually even gotten a chance to look at N1s yet. I am thinking 9K rev limit on N1 cams, but they won't make power that far in.
