No one is giving you a solid answer, because there is no solid answer.
I run my stock F22c to 9k regularly with no problems.
Realstreet's stock F22c saw 10k and 11k regularly, and he didn't have problems until he ran more boost and lifted the head (stock headstuds ftl). It even saw over 11.5k at times.
Would I run it to 11k all day? Probably not. But whos to say you can't?
My point is that there isn't much documentation of pushing the limits. And even if there was, nothing is set and stone. It all depends on what you really want on how long you want/expect your motor to last.
My recommendation? Stick with 9k max unless you REALLY want/need the extra RPMs and aren't going to be upset if your motor gets destroyed in the near future (not saying it will, but the probability will obviously be higher).

The car is tuned up to 18psi but my tuner told me to put a gallon of 100octane to up the octance slightly if I run that high. I just don't feel compfortable running it all the time so my boost controller is currently set to 14lbs.

E85 will not get you much more than 450whp if you keep the 1000id and a 255 fuel pump. You would have to up the fuel pressure and that 255 pump alone will be pushing its max. To do it safely I would recommend my setup. Keep stock fuel pressure, get 340 pump and id 2000.
