Your next limitation must be the hydraulic lifters.
Not per se, you can rev the engine to 10K with hydraulic lifters... but not with the stock ones ;-)
The problem with our lifters is that the oil can't go out fast enough, buy them/modify them with a larger exit hole and you are in honda rev zone

I'd love to have a high revving short stroke 2lt M42.. it would beat the honda b16/B18 engines for sure.
