I was wondering how much can the stock 2006 350Z engine can take in terms of its RPM's, if i read line it from like 3rd through 6th or even 2nd through 6th am i going to seriously mess up my engine or is that more what its made for, also is constantly reving and other related things bad for the Z or is it made to handle all that and above?

If your ECU is stock it limits the RPMs anyway so chance of breaking things is low. You'll go through clutches, brakes and tires though.

Do you know what the stock ECU limits it to?

One easy way to tell is to put the car in N or P. and put the gas pedal to the floor and where it starts to tap thats your rev limitier. Or you can just look at the tach and see where the line starts called RED LINE.
