Considering you can build a short stroke 2.8, 3.0 on a 66mm crank and conventional components that will rev to 8800RPM,
Giving all due respect for whomever told you that or gave you that impression:................Not For Long.

Without going into details, extended, RELIABLE operation at or above 8000 RPM requires some special parts and a LOT of extra preparation.

Engine component stresses build logarithmically with RPM. Its not a linear relationship as I've discovered over the past 30 years of racing 911-based engines.
