Why would you want to raise the RPM? Where does the engine make peak power? Where is peak torque? You normally launch a car at or close to peak torque, and shift about 200 RPM past peak power. It makes no sense to go beyond peak power, because the HP curve drops like a rock. (I'm talking stock engines of course). If you build the car to move the power band up, then it makes sense. The motor has to built to handle it. Especially the cam (can't do it with a Hydraulic) has to be flat tappet or solid roller, and the valves will definitely go into float, because the valve springs will go into bind (again of course if youv'e left them stock). The way to give the S/C more boost is to change the pullies, from lets say a 6 pound to a 12 pound.

Lots of things to consider here..
