What is max "safe" tipspeed for todays billet compressor wheels ?

From BW compressor maps highest I found was 607 m/s. Read somewhere that 80s turbo Formula 1 engines had about 640 m/s , back then they were running about 6:1 pressure ratios.
 
Industry standard is 580m/s however SFI minimum burst test speed is 700m/s.

Max turbo speed in ECU was set to 112000 rpm, HE500 VGT Holset , have not checked yet if it is 109 mm exducer or smaller.
