You begin to lose power at around 7K. It really depends on the application and your goal. I wouldn't recommend it because you're not going to increase performance and are only putting additional stress on the engine system.

EDIT - To expand on application, for instance if you're running a more aggressive timing or cam profile, fuel, or port/bore the engine...obviously that changes the powerband and likely power could be gained above 7k rpms, it just really depends.
