Only if you know what the powerband is. Factory redline is (almost) always well past peak horsepower. You would have to know what the HP and torque curves look like and what your various gear ratio's are to gain any meaningful benefit from overrevving any engine with stock internals.
Short answer: Stock cars with stock engines usually go slower down the track when over-reved.....and needlessly risk engine damage.
